Martha was an absolute joy to speak with and consistently radiated positivity. She had a genuine and warm soul that made you feel comfortable, welcome and at ease. She was and always will be a fighter. Thoughts to friends, family and loved ones at this difficult time.

Aunt Martha I miss you and I will always remember your smile. You were an inspiration to me because no matter what you were facing you didnt complain and you faced it head on. Your love for life and for us was special. Love you always.

I am so sorry to hear of Marthas passing. I was Charlies physical therapist and I could always count on her to follow through with his PT program at home due to her loving devotion to him... they always made my day! What a wonderful lady she was.
I am so sorry for your loss,
