Dear DiBenedetto and Malatian Families: I am sorry for not paying my respects earlier than now, but I've just found out today that Marta has gone to a better place. The angels up in heaven are lucky to have her. She was an angel here on earth doing all the good deeds throughout her life, never once thinking of herself and always thinking of her loving family and what her had to accomplish in helping others. We will always treasure the gifts she gave us. I'm so sorry for your loss.

To Marta's Family and Friends,
As someone who knew Marta for many years and was priviledged to serve with her as a GFWC of Mass, Junior I am extraordinarily saddened by her passing. I was the fortunate person to assemble the memory book for her time as Jr. Director. Her warmth and sense of humor were unmatched. What an incredible time she (and all of us) had! As it says on the cover--"Treasure the Gift" and we shall always treasure the gift to us that was Marta.

Dear Family
On behalf of the GFWC Pioneer Junior Women's Club I would like to send our deepest sympathy. Marta was a great person and a great friend. She was always interested in our club because of our small size. She was always amazed at what we could accomplish and would continue to give us encouragement. It was because of her that I became involved on state board, which helped to keep our club going. She gave me support while at National Convention in Florida. I know it is hard...

My sympathy and prayers to Marta's loving family. She was such a special person, warm, friendly, caring and making everyone she came in contact with feel welcome and valued. I met her first through GFWC New England Region and have been blessed by her encouragement since that first moment. She will be sorely missed, but remembered in our hearts forever.
