As children, my brothers and I were blessed to have Martha in our lives. She cared and loved, and treated us as if we were her own.The days at Ryeplayland, White castles and Carvel ice cream stores are memories that will always be with us. When we were older,we wondered why we called her Martha, not Ms. Martha,not Ms. Strother, But Martha, the answer calling her Martha was calling her MOM.
Thank you Darzel for sharing your mother with us.
Martha was the Best Babysitter in the World love to you Forever
