My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I am very sorry for your loss. I was in a prayer group with Martha for a time. We would go over to her house and she would fix the best homemade soup I ever ate. She was a wonderful hostess and always made me feel welcomed. I know she has been welcomed into heaven by the Lord Jesus and her family who went before her.

Let us pray,
God of compassion and love,
you have breathed into us the breath of life
and have given us minds and bodies in which we live out
our days on earth.
For the gift of life, we are grateful.
We humbly acknowledge that there is a time to live,
and a time to die.
We commit this life* to you,
trusting in your gracious promises and
confident in the sure and certain hope of new
life in the world to come.
Into your hands we commit our beloved.
May your will be done!
In the good and gracious name of Christ,
we pray. Amen.
S. Meador Sylacauga, Al.

I've never had the pleasure of meeting most of Martha's family, but I have very fond memories of her when I was growing up. She and my aunt Louise were very close and I used to love going over to Martha's house with her. She was a very sweet and loving woman. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and I am terribly sorry for your loss.
