One of the kindest and most classy ladies I have ever met. So very beautiful inside and out. Heaven has gained an angel of the highest caliber! Martha will be sadly missed by so very many whose lives she touched with her grace and love.

Such a beautiful, kind and warm hearted woman who believed that "singing hymns was like praying twice." She was and always will be a special part of the Sacred Heart family. She will be dearly missed at morning mass.
