I cannot even believe that it has been almost a year since we lost Aunt Martha. I sure hope she readied the heavenly crowds for my mom two months ago, and that all our "guardian angels" are watching over and helping us!
Uncle Rick, Julie, Mike, Jeff and families, know that you remain in my prayers, especially during this difficult anniversary. May memories continue to comfort you.
Love, Cindee

Dad Hicks,
I was sadden to hear about the passing of"mom" Hicks. My girls enjoyed the stories that I have always shared with them about the soccer days. I will always remember her as a gentle giant and one that loved her children and her soccer children unconditionally. I am honored to have been loved by her and you and your family.
Peace,

Dear Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved wife and mother. Martha and I were classmates at St. Vincent High School.
I can still see that little ball of fire rushing through the halls and actually talking even faster. Martha and your son have always been in my thoughts and prayers as they will continue to be.

Rick and family,
Our most heartfelt hugs are sent your way to attempt to comfort you during this time. Martha was a wonderful person to know. She is our Mother, Doris's, first cousin and we grew up at family events with her kids. As time spread those times farther apart, Martha saw to it that we reconnected with Julie and her family and Jen, Lonnie, Tori & Tyler. We will always remember Martha as a uniter and pray that you find peace in knowing that she is now re-united with Steven and her loved ones in Heaven. She will be missed by all who have had the pleasure of her touch in their life.
"When loved ones become memories,Memories become Treasures" -- May you all have many Treasures of Martha to comfort you.
