It's been 2 1/2 years since your passing and your're still missed just as much now as you were when alive. You weren't our 'mom' for the last few years of your life, but we knew you were still here with us. You are so much better off and happier now. God is with us all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was my Boss Lady for many years. I remember her fondly. She showed my mom, Mert Marchbanks, how to be a good administrator.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

While I did not personally know Martha, I know her daughter Janet and I can see the same beautiful smile and the sparkle of joy in her eyes she gifted Janet with, she was obviously an amazing, courageous, giving spirit, a delightful force of spiritual joy, May God bless her in heaven and remind her loved ones she forever shines through their hearts...❤
