Many years have passed since we crossed each others paths but Martha's sweet and friendly smile and ways came back so clearly when we learned of her passing and we would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy for your loss and our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Dear Jim, Jay and Laura:
David and I still find tears in our eyes as we try to imagine your days. You were blessed to be a part of, or married to, one Angelic Lady that served her Lord daily. It was evident in the tone of her voice, the words she would choose, the tender touch of her hand, and the caring look in her eyes. She cared, and it showed.
We hope to visit with you as time passes and we will continue to pray for your peace in the midst of such a horrible, senseless, death.
Laura and Jay ... Your expression and presentation at your Mom's funeral was a testimonial to her life. NO ONE could have ever done a better job. I saw her sweet smile looking down on you and giving you strength. Stay close to your Dad. He will need lots of extra hugs now and forever.
Much Love and Sympathy to you All,
Sandy & David Strauss

My niece move to Fulshear last year. The first year in a new school was so hard for her. She would leave her class room crying on many occasions. Mrs. Fields was always there to comfort her. She would say "Oh, whats wrong with my little Claudia?" and she would hug her and sit with her until she felt better. She was Claudia's strength. She was her hero. Now Claudia, her sister Olivia and my sister Dawn drive by her house every day, leaving their house to go out of the subdivision - Claudia still says - "I miss Mrs. Fields so much".
Martha Allen Fields - She was a huge influence on so many people, especially all those little kids lives - She will be missed - she will be desperetly missed.

Dear Fields Family -
We were greatly saddened to hear recently of Martha's passing. She was a wonderful person and made such a difference in our lives when we moved to Bellaire several years ago. She was a blessing to us as our sons transitioned to Condit. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. I met Martha when she lived across the street from my high school friend's parents and I was a teacher's aide at Condit. I remember Martha as loving, compassionate, and encouraging. She was wonderful with the children and the infectious laughter she shared with them was heard through the windows from the picnic tables where they sometimes worked on pretty days! I am so sorry for your loss and you are in our prayers. May you find comfort in knowing she is in the arms of Jesus.

Dear Fields Family....I only knew Martha for a short time. We met at Curves and during our 30 minute workout covered many subjects. She was a very sweet lady with a quick wit. We had planned to walk together during the summer months but I am sorry to say we never got around to it. May God wrap all of you in His wonderful strength and help ease your pain.

To the Fields Family:
Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel for the family and those who knew her. Martha was that ray of sunshine to all she met. Hold on to those precious memories of her. Do not let her passing overshadow her heart-warming life here with us.
When a senseless tragedy happens, we often ask 'why?'. Please be encouraged to know that God is still in control of all things. Hold on to the fact that Martha was a genuine woman who indeed left a sustained legacy of love, kindness, and concern for people.
Because we are of the flesh, we pain, we sorrow, and we have our doubts. Know that only God can comfort us and sustain us during this difficult time. Martha would want us to remember,"Whatever happens, He is in control." This was one of the quotes I remember her saying not only to me, but to others to encourage them. Remember her words to help make sense of the senseless.
May God be with you always.
Jenny Jamison
