The local music world is a shade darker after losing one of its biggest fans. Dear Martha, you were always such a joyous presence! I'm so glad I had the chance to meet you almost nine years ago on the inaugural music tour to Ireland with Craig and Nyke! May the music of the angels keep that bright smile on you that you were always ready to beam at those around you. Rest easy.

My deepest condolences to Martha's family. Having been friends with my parents, I've known Martha since I was a child. She was one of a kind. I often told her she was fabulous and that I loved how she was always dressed to impressed. I often joked with her that she had more of a social life then all of us combined. I will miss our lunch dates and the great conversations we always had. I am so happy I was able to come over to celebrate and spend time with her on her 90th birthday. Martha...
