Aunt Martha was truly an angel. She worked a full time job and raised 4 children and cared for a disabled husband, kept a roof over their head and food on the table. If anyone deserves to go to Heaven, she does. Love you and going to miss you Aunt Martha. RIP.

And then there was none....our family is gone. Four beautiful sisters and they're all gone. My heart hurts for all of you. It's hard to lose any of your family, but when your mom passes, it's just tough. I guarantee you, Mom met Martha at the Golden Gate and they're still catching up! My thoughts and prayers are with Pat, Gregory, Linda and Bobby. Big hugs to all!!
