Dear Kevin,

Your mother was one of the best influences of my childhood. My sister and I still speak of her often. She was a very kind and welcoming individual and I wish you the best as you you cope with her loss.

God be with you all during your time of sadness. I worked with Martha at Quantum and she was every bit of what a professional admin should be. She was a wonderful worker and a wonderful person. My prayers are with you all.

To Martha's family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Martha was a coworker of mine at Quantum back in the late 90's. If she had not taken a vacation in August of 1997, I may not have ever had the opportunity to work there - I was the temp who covered for her that year, which got my foot in the door. It was a wonderful place to work, and Martha was a wonderful admin who shared many excellent hints about how to do the job more effectively. I wish I had been able to attend her funeral to pay my respects. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Rose Reith

To Martha's Family,

We are so very sorry for your loss.

Martha was a very special woman. Her help during our neighborhood fight against the shopping mall was invaluable--she used her excellent secretarial skills to help in any way she could and we enjoyed her company at meetings.

Martha was a wonderful neighbor and we will miss her.
