From the moment I met Martha I knew that she was someone special. She spoke with a soft gentle voice and truly cared about me as a person . She put other peoples needs above her own. Truly an angel on earth. God is waiting with open arms to take her in. My hart felt sympathy to her family.

To Molly, and all of the fine folks in the extended Quinn clan: Martha was a gem. Some people have parents that are just rule-makers and curfew enforcers. Other's--the lucky ones--have someone like Martha, someone who is always interested in conversation, always listening, always quietly spinning out wisdom. To have a friend with a parent like that is a treasured gift. Martha always treated me with kindness, respect, and the occasional cookie or treat! I am truly sad to see her go, but truly happy to have known her, and equally happy that she enjoyed such a long, fulfilling life. God bless, and God speed.
