MRS. MARY WAS LIKE A SECOND MOTHER TO ME. SHE AND MAMA WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. THE DAY MAMA GOT SICK IT WAS YOUR MOTHER AT HER BEDSIDE. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW SHE LOOKED AFTER MY MOTHER. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO KEEP HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. Mrs. Martin was a beautiful woman with a sweet spirit. Her glorious smile has lighted up my Sunday mornings a plenty. I've known her since I was about 6 years old. She always admired the way I dressed my daughter and would ask me if I made that. My fondest memory will be the day that my mother was crying because she had to put my grandfather in a Nursing Home and Mrs. Martin pulled her to the side and told her it will be alright because her Daddy and the Lord know she has done all she can do for him.
To the Family, may God Bless you and hold you close to him and each other.
