Not sure what to say?

We always remember Martha especially when I see or use many of the items that she gave us and cook some of her recipes.

Dear Friends - thank you for your kind words and wonderful memories - my mother had a wonderful life and many great friends.

I only had the opportunity to meet Martha the few times she made it to West Side Weavers. She was always so interested in what others were doing, and it was inspiring to hear others talk about what they had learned from Martha. My thoughts go out to Norman and her family. She will be missed.

Dear Norman and family,
The sad news about Martha's passing made me contemplate of the great weaving friends I found in Houston. I have fond memories of the West Side Weavers' meeting in your house and mine where Martha could join us together with Chris. I still have supplies from her stash which I will even treasure more now. They'll make me think of her when I weave or felt with it.
May you all be at peace!

Dear Mr. Norman Morse and family,
Whilst browsing I came across this obituary. I am surprised and sad to note that Mrs. Morse has passed on and am so sorry for your loss. I have no words other than to describe the wonderful memories of both of you and how good you were to Russ and myself and even helped us beyond expectations , so that we could have a wonderful and memorable wedding and reception in your St Louis home.(1974)

With great sadness, I heard of Martha's passing. I met her on a Shell interview trip back in 1969. She renewed my interest in weaving and she has influenced my work through all these years. Rest in peace Martha, no broken warp threads or snarled yarns will bother you again. My love to Norman and Martha's loving family.
