To Ron Giles and the entire family of Martha Giles. My wife (Patricia) and I were very sad to hear that Martha has left us. Losing Martha was like losing a member of the family. We will all miss her sweet disposition and caring heart. A piece of the puzzle will be missing from the summer family BBQ at the Clifford's house. My sister (Janet) and her husband (Bob) have lost what many considered their 4th daughter. However nothing we feel can compare to the loss that Ron and the entire family are going through. We wish to express our sincerest condolences to Ron and the entire family. May you all take comfort knowing that Martha is at peace and in the arms of Our heavenly Father, waiting and watching over you all.

Hearing that Martha has left us, was like losing a sister. Martha had been a part of our family forever. She was my parents 4th daughter and a another older sister for myself. I think I can speak for my WHOLE family, we will miss Martha immensely as no doubt many others that were touched by her.

My Mom was definitely one of my greatest inspirations and I am one of the luckiest people in the world to have spent so much time with her. I am so glad that she lived a happy life and she touched so many hearts. I hope that I can make as big as an impact on peoples lives as she did. She meant the world to me and its going to be hard to move on but now that I know she is watching over me at all times, I have no reason to fear anything because I know she will take good care of me.

I appreciate everybody's support, family and friends have been amazing at this time of need.

Thanks to everyone

I worked for Martha for 4 years, the duration of my high school career. The nurturance and guidance she provided me with during that time has had a lasting effect on me. She was a wonderful person with an incredibly kind heart who was famous for putting the needs of others before her own. She will be deeply missed.

My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with her entire family, as well as the extended family of close friends that she kept.
