John, Leigh, and family of Martha,
I am very sorry for your loss. I knew Martha through Soroptimist and enjoyed sitting by her at the last dinner meeting she was able to attend. At that point she still did not have a diagnosis but she did have a great positive spirit and we had an enjoyable conversation and evening. We will all miss Martha at our Soroptimist meetings and functions. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
