Not sure what to say?

Martha, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I am thinking of you and your family.

I didn't know her but I have the honor and pleasure of working with her daughter Nene at Norfolk Academy and have taught several of her grandchildren. They are people of integrity and excellence. They are a true testament to her legacy

Mrs. Fleming taught piano to all 3 of our boys. Friday afternoons at her house included 3 back-to-back lessons and Mr. Fleming often served chocolate chip cookies! Mrs. Fleming was a wonderful teacher and advocate for her students and she did so much to instill a love for music. We are blessed that she was a part of our family's musical journey.

Mrs. Fleming was so kind, caring, and patient. I took piano lessons from her, and after some time, she was kind enough to recommend that my parents explore other talents for me. I have fond memories of sitting at the piano with her, even if I wasn't the strongest student. My condolences to the family.

So many fond memories of Mrs. Fleming and the entire Fleming clan. She was a delight to know. Kind, caring. Hers was a life well lived - music, family, community.

Peaso was an incredible woman who always had the sweetest chuckle and warm smile. I was fortunate to have Martha as my best friend in college, which led to me being invited to spend several Easters at the Fleming home. Peaso always made me feel at home. For college spring break, Peaso made Martha, another girlfriend and me sundresses to wear. She was very kind, thoughtful and was interested in others. She was a person with strong morals combined with a loving heart. I´ll miss seeing her on...

Mary was such a great lady. Both Rives and her were a glorious example of family life. Condolences to all the family.

Remembering all the good times growing up with all the family members; school, swimming team,... Peaso was everyone's mom. Will be missed. Condolences to all the family!

What a beautiful life ! From a pre-school teacher who loved 4 of your grands. Your love for them is their legacy.
