My heart breaks.
Martha was the kindest lady I’ve ever known.
I will always remember how she put everyone before herself.
She had the kindest heart.
No matter how bad things were for her,
She always worried about others.
Rest In Peace.. I will see you soon.
Much love,

I sure am gonna miss Martha Lou. She was such a great example of what a christian should be. She was a good listener, never judged, & would admit she made mistakes too. It always brightened my day when I saw her smiling face. I’m so blessed to have known her. She’s resting in God’s care now & there’s no better place to be.
