I had not talked with Martha for many years and had reconnected with her in the months before her final illness. She told me many stories of her life-after-Jennings during a couple of long telephone calls. Over the months since she died, I have often thought of her and the days that I spent babysitting the Tobin kids. My sorrow at the loss of Martha and those who went before her finds small comfort in thinking that in some great cosmos, they reunited. Sending love.

The staff, volunteers and clients of Food Outreach extend our deepest sympathy and...

Kate your Mother, Martha was the most amazing person inside and out. Her love of nature was her calling and she flourished with it. Nature was only second to her love of her family. My memories are many and will continue through you Kate and Grace.
