Albert, Kathy & Christina:

There are no words to express how much Tia Martina meant to me. "Darling" is resting and now she is up there with your dad, my mom and the rest of the clan. My son, Montana was her "little helper" when she needed "help" getting out of her chair or walking. I think that it was her way of making him feel like she needed him. Great Job Tia.

I love you all, and offer my deepest condolences on your loss.

Much Love & Sympathy,
Your Cousin Darla
