I am so sorry that you have lost such a special person, but take faith in knowing that Jesus promises that we will all meet again one day. Martha, I know the close relationship you had with your mom and how hard it is to let her go. How special to have such wonderful memories to cherish forever! We are praying for all of you that you will find peace in knowing that she is happy in the arms of Jesus. We love all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. As a good friend of Marthas I have fond memories of five girls having sleep overs and being feed and taken care of by her. She was a very special lady. Much love Diane and Robert Murray.
