I will always remember Martha's hard work and success at winning the coveted Blue Ribbon for Dunbar. I will also remember our shared efforts regarding the International program. But mostly I just remember a good person, a generous person with whom I was so very comfortable.

Ms. Boxley;
Thank you for very helping me at the lowest point in my life. When I met you in 1991, I was broken. You took me into your home, supported and encouraged me. That made me the woman I am today. I talked to you two weeks ago and never thought two weeks later we will never talk again. May God Bless you for your kind heart. Elaine.

On behalf of the Montgomery family, we offer our deepest sympathy, upon the passing of your dear loved one, our friend and neighbor. Words are never adequate at times like this but we want you to know that her passing has also left a void in our lives. Martha and I were friends and neighbors for 44 years and when I look out towards her earthly home, I know that she is now in her heavenly home, resting peacefully with our Lord and Savoir. May it comfort you to know that our last conversation on Saturday evening was filled with laughter and joy as we talked. We ended our conversation with, "I will see you later" - not Goodbye. Marlinda and Marne, and family, she loved you dearly and I know you are aware of how proud she was of you and your accomplishments. She left a legacy for you to follow and be proud of, because through her life, she taught you what was right, what was important and the value of love for family and friends. May you be comforted in knowing that she will live on through you. May your precious memories of her and your faith in God, keep you in perfect peace. Rest In Peace my friend, you have earned your rest. Billy, Martha, Johnna, John and Chantee
