To the family of Martha Jefferson,

There are no words that can adequately express the sense of loss felt by the ROSA (REACHING OUT TO SENIOR ADULTS) Inc. family in the passing of Mrs. Martha Ray Jefferson; our newly crowned 2015 SENIOR OF THE YEAR!

It was just a month ago, we all witnessed the reality of her heartfelt desire and accomplishment of winning the title and we were all pleased, proud and inspired by the determination and drive she demonstrated during the process of achieving her goal.

We were blessed to be graced by her presence in our ministry and we will miss her smiling face; cheery hellos;
bubbly enthusiasm and inspirational stories and poems; but we know that her spirit is at peace as she rests in the bosom of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We will cherish her legacy and pray continually for you in the days ahead as life continues without the earthly presence of your beloved mother, grandmother, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend. May God be with you always.

Rev. Melba Renfro

To Brenda, Opal, and Family:

Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27 NKJV)

My prayers are with you all.

November 16, 2015

Martha & I were friends for more than 35 years. I will miss our frequent telephone chats and will cherish many happy memories.

It is my prayer that God will sustain Marva, Mario and the entire family during this difficult time.
