So sorry to hear that Aunt Martha is gone. We hope your sorrow is eased by fond memories of your lives together. We recall she was excited about a first visit we planned to see her at the Cape. It had been quite a while since we saw each other and we were looking forward to seeing her, too. It must have been years since we spent time together. Aunt Mart made us feel so welcome. We had a wonderful time `catching-up´. With deepest sympathy, Ron & Linda Dwyer.
