Martha and I worked together at the University of South Carolina. She worked full time while pursuing her degree and was excellent at both. She had an excellent career in the corporate world, and I was proud of her accomplishments. She was a devoted wife and mother. She had a great sense of humor. I will always be grateful for all the support she gave me, and I will remember her always with fondness and appreciation.
