To The Gaytan & Abeyta Family,
My thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. Martha made a huge impact in the lives of MANY residents in the nursing home. She brought much love, peace, and joy to them all and to her co-workers. May God grant you strength in the days to come.

I had the honor and privilege of working with Martha in my role as a physical therapist. I have never met such a caring individual. Martha loved her family and friends like no other. David, her life partner, took such good care of her in difficult times for both of them. She loved her doggies so much too. I know she is in Heaven now with her Grandma and Grandpa and many of her other family and friends. She will continue to spread her sunshine as an angel in Heaven as she was on Earth. My condolences to her family, and especially to David.
