Read MoreMartha is a distant family member that I did not have the pleasure to meet. She is the daughter of my father's cousin. I just want to send my love to her family from Sam Carter's daughter (me). My cousin, Mike Pease, informed me of our family loss.

So sorry to hear of Martha's Passing. Martha was a neighbor and very special friend when we were in school. We spent many hours playing together in our younger years, thinking about Martha brings back a lot of good memories. Heaven just got sweeter, goodbye old friend. Sandy Qualls Hartman
