I've known Martha since I started at Publix back in 2005. She was a very nice woman and I loved working with her, she was a kind and a good person and she always made me laugh. I don't think I would ever get use to the fact that she is gone. She's in a better place and is smiling down on all of us. I will truly miss such a great friend.
