Martha, I love you and miss you. On this earth, you were the best woman I know. You offered love and support to all your family. You were my mother in law, my friend and my confidante. I did not get to visit you before you left for your journey but you came to see me! In Heaven, I know, Our Heavenly Father has received his Angel. We will meet again. In the meantime, I will cherish memories of our times together and be inspired by you every day. Love always, Marilyn
