I'm so sad that I can't be at Martha's funeral tomorrow, due to knee surgery Friday. She played such a special part in my life and in Mother's.They had such great times together. I still don't know which one was Lucy and which one was Ethel. Looking back over all those days was a great pleasure for both Martha and me. I shall miss her greatly. Just know I will be there in my heart with all of you tomorrow. Love to all, Jackie
