October 2020: The hardest part of not having Glen and Martha here anymore is that I don't get the opportunity to share what is going on in my life with them. I miss their wisdom, insights, and knowledge!

I got to know Glenn and Martha when I was a hospice volunteer, and I continued to see and e-mail Martha for a time after Glenn's death. Such a down to earth caring person. I am richer for knowing her.

Martha Jean "Grandma Blakeman" was a true inspiration and light to all who were lucky enough to know her. She was a Godly woman, a good samaritan, and the most compassionate/caring person that I've ever met. I will always remember her sense of humor, her honesty, and her humility. I love you Grandma Blakeman! You will always be missed!
