Mrs Martha was the quintessential Southern Woman. Her lilting Southern accent was a joy to hear. She took pride in her home and in the way she cared for her Sweetie, Joe. She set an excellent example of what it meant to love someone and care for their needs. Mrs Martha will be missed by all that knew and loved her.

My sincerest sympathies and condolences are with all Mrs. Thompson's family and friends. Going back before my generation, we Frosts were fortunate to know Mrs. Thompson and Cousin Joe as my late Father called him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mark B. Frost

Martha was delightful! I knew her from First Presbyterian Church. One day we took a drive by her former home near Overton Lea and I heard her history with Joe and family life. Then we went to movie together with girlfriends somewhat later. There was lots of laughter and happiness especially when I drove her home and heard about her inherited furniture. I love that the beautiful Oak Trees on the grounds of First Presbyterian Church will sing the legacy of Joe and Martha for years to come. In His Love, Vicki Sells
