Martha was one of the finest ladies I ever had the pleasure to get to know. We had such fun together when both of our husbands went for three months to the police academy. I will forever remember the fun barbeques our two families had together with the kids all playing in the back yard. My parents loved her too and were so impressed by the fact that she could fix almost anything! I so hope that she and Dave are enjoying themselves and the rest of their families once again! We miss all of you dearly!!!

Martha was a great person. I have such great memories of spending time with Martha, on beach trip, road trip or just hanging out. We will all miss but know she is having a great reunion with her loved ones in heaven and she is watching over her family still here on earth. Peace be will all of you. Love Carol
