Not sure what to say?

Our (somewhat) delayed condolences for Martha and with our warm regards to Mike and the kids of the whole family Christina and Bo

Sad to hear about Martha. Growing up in the South End I remember her as a great kid. Had no idea Martha played hoop at UB. Sorry I missed that. Rod M

Deepest sympathy to the entire Lesnick & McCann families. I had the pleasure of being a fellow south ender and attended grammar and high school with Martha. She was always a kind soul, a talent on and off the court and ever ready to share a song and play the guitar. Thinking of Martha puts a smile on your face. Gone too early. She left a loving mark on those who knew her and on the earth. Heartfelt condolences. Patty

Our deepest sympathy to the McCann family from fellow South Enders. We have such great memories of Martha´s parents, her siblings and our days at Sacred Heart grammar school. The Barius Family

My sympathies to Martha´s family and the McCann family from a fellow southender. Fond memories growing up together and spending time together at SHS and Cathedral.

Our care and love go out to Martha´s family and siblings from one of the other south end of Bridgeport, Sacred Heart School clans, the Carolans. Your music and smile will always be with us. Paul and Cathy Carolan

She was an inspiration to all she met and showed us what determination in faith looks like and it spread to all who knew her . God didn´t us free will to a perfect life , but our free will and strength can fight for the goodness and those who are worthy will be blessed with time to teach others of his blessing and show us how miracles happen everyday. I love you Martha and have always been an inspiration. Your...

Not sure there would be a " Jean & Richard" without Martha? I met Martha as Jean's college roommate, and wow, she was funny, sarcastic, musically gifted, athletic, and so brilliantly kind. She could handle those 7 older McCann kids! I watched her and Michael build a beautiful life together, with kids and grandkids! Our heartfelt sympathies to her cherished family and all who knew her. We are the lucky ones. Thank you for sharing her. Lucy and Dan Sargeant

Sincere sympathy to Richard and family on the passing of your sister Martha. May her gentle soul rest in peace. Joan and Seamus Meehan Ireland.
