Not sure what to say?

Jim and Jen,
Martha could see the big picture in life. She didn't worry about the little things and focused on the positive. She always loved holidays and had puppets, wands, hats, etc. to cheer the students and all of us who worked with us. We miss her.
You have our love and prayers.
With sympathy,

Jim and Jen, Im sorry for your lost. I worked with Martha at Yates . She was a wonderful and caring teacher. She was always positive and encouraging. In her famous statement "Do your best and let angles to the rest". I continue to carry those words with me daily. I will miss her greatly.

Mrs. Maurer taught our daughter Rachel in 5th grade at Yates and she was so wonderful in understanding our daughter as a student and as a person and in helping her to excel in her academics. With much appreciation...May you feel peace and comfort at this time.

Jim and family,
I worked with Martha. She was a wonderful help to me no matter the grade level or subject matter. We shared stories about living in other countries. Her stories about learning about aviation encouraged me to encourage my son in that career path.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim and Family,
I was so sad when I found out that Martha had passed. I worked with her for at least 8 years at Yates, and we got along famously. She kept me in stitches and told some of the best stories ever. I will miss her dearly. She will always have a special place in my heart. May God comfort you and your family during this difficult time. You are all in my prayers.

Jim and family,
Martha and I grew up together and I'll never forget her friendship, humor and wisdom. You are in my prayers.
