I remember when I first moved to Virginia Beach, I applied at Cape Henry Towers. Martha immediately hired me, I worked there on and off until I moved away in 2008. Martha was the best friend anyone could ask for. She was so fun. Every holiday birthday she would alway send a card. All these years she still sent one . She was always there for me. I will miss you always Martha. Love Susan Dumont
