Mister Vinnie, Michelle and all of the Vinovich family, I am so sorry to read about Martha's passing. I so enjoyed how her lovely smile lit up the room making everyone smile. She could tell a story like no one else and was such a great lady, so full of life. I will always remember meeting her for the first time, many years ago, at the Peo Blind Center garage sale. My prayers go out to all of you at this time but I know you will have many happy stories to tell and she will always be in your hearts and memories.

Please be assured of my prayers for the repose of the soul of Martha and for the consolation of her many family members and friends. I treasure all the visits I've enjoyed with Martha; her lively sense of humor will always remain with me. Although I will not be in Peoria to concelebrate the Mass of Christian Burial, please know that I will be present spiritually. May the Lord, in the immensity of His kindness, give Martha a place of light, peace, and refreshment among all His angels and saints!
