Not sure what to say?

Tita,

I recall you telling me on more than once that you thought your mother was "just really cool"..
Though I only met your mother a couple of times and it was many years ago, I remember she had a style that was pleasant in the most positive ways. I'm sorry you lost your mom.

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

The Utah Geological Survey extends its condolences to the family of Martha, who worked with us for many years. Martha was a joy to work with and our source for a wealth and depth of information.
We would like to write a rememberance of Martha in our newsletter that would benefit with a few details that the family could provide. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Sandy Eldredge, Program Manager Geologic Information and Outreach 801-537-3325, [email protected]

I'll never forget her telling me that she wished she had pursued a career in art rather than doing what seemed sensible. Yet, it seems, the end of life brings reconciliation with roads taken, roads not. Peace, Martha.

Ray and I remember Martha as a wonderful mother and artist. We're sorry to see that's she's gone, but her children can take note that she raised a great independent group of people.
