I worked with Martha when she worked at Pacific Telephone in the late 70's, early 80's and she has always remained in my thoughts. I would run into her a few times after she left the phone company when she had started working for the County. I have thought about her often because she was the kind of person who left a "sweet mark" on those of us she came in contact with. I was blessed to have known her.

Martha, we shared many laughs and moments working together with our cases. You were an inspiration to all. How funny that later on I would be working with your daughter Erika. You will be missed by all whose lives you touched. God couldn't have created a better person than you to come into my life. I know He received you with open arms and I pray for your family to rejoice in your homecoming. "Do not cry because she has left you, cry because you must remain" Until we meet again my friend.
