Our family shares in the great sorrow of your families recent loss of Martha. We grew up on Farm Street and went to school with all the kids and my Mom, Lorraine Gonnella always tried to keep in touch with Martha whether sharing books, cards or a phone call. She was so sad to receive a call from her family, but is very great-full for the friend Martha was to her and honored that her family took the time to let her know. Please except condolances from all the Gonnella's and do not hesitate to call me at 717-357-0833 if there is anything we can do or just to talk. She will be missed by many!

Mom and I will miss her very much. She was a very special sister-in-law and aunt over many years. She always put her family before herself. God must have wanted a very special angel.

Ben and Family,
Nick and I were neighbors for 10 years before we left for
Florida. I am so sorry to hear of Martha's passing. They were both really wonderful neighbors. I so admired Martha's dedication to her walks in ANY weather.
Our prayers are with you all.
Randy and Maureen Nickerson (57 Farm St.) until 2003.
