Martha you were my friend, confidant, and big sister. We had some really great times together. You were someone who looked for the best in everyone and seldom had a bad thing to say. I am so sorry that I let myself drift from you over the last couple of years. But, I know you understand. You were supposed to live to 86 to see the farm be declared Centennial. Instead you decided you'd had enough waiting to be with Bob again. God bless and keep you my friend, I will miss you. God help all those that loved you find peace in your memories.Your friend always, Jen
