Not sure what to say?

Today I was saddened by a phone call received advising me that Martha had passed away. My husband Joudat and I were in Florida helping our daughter Noelle who was having her first child after a very difficult pregnancy. I am still here but my husband is back home and it is he who found out. I have known Martha since she came to the US. She was a wonderful person, wife, mother and grand mother. She was generous and honest and she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Joudat...

Dearest Norma, Laura, Rachel, & Michael;

It's been awhile since I've seen you all. But I did see your Mother (God has rested her soul) last summer.
She was vibrant and beautiful as usual. I just wanted to encourage you alll to come together in this time and remember all the good times God allowed your Mom to be with you.

I just lost my Thatha Odet 12-18-08 (my Thatha loved your Mom...as do the rest of the family) and we can not ask why? But just know that I hope you all find...

Hi Norma, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

I know that Martha is in the arms of the Lord. She was a very good, faith-filled woman. I am honored to have known her. May all of you, her family, especially Rachel, accept my deepest sympathy. I am so sorry that I am unable to attend her Mass, but I will be with you in spirit.

I just saw Martha a few weeks ago and we reminisced about the times we spent watching the kids play sports.We promised to get together for lunch. I'm so glad for that time we shared. She will be sorely missed by our family. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

I know this is a very difficult time for all of you, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Danny & Katia and family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless you.

Such a good friend. She would do anything for me. I will miss our long talks.
