Martha was a happy person and loved life and family. She loved people. She became a Christian when she was 12 years old. She always wanted to see in people what God seen in them. She wanted that same kind of love. She shared the story many times about when she asked God "why can't you just zap people when they abuse children." That night as she was sleeping she saw a large banner rolled out in front of her and all it said was LOVE. That banner forever changed her mind about people and for one moment she felt and knew what God's love truly meant. From then on she felt love for all of God's creation. From her cancer diagnosis to her death Martha never wavered from the peace God had given her.

Martha also loved her church family and had so much fun going on trips and attending dinners with the 50 plus group of Glad Tidings Church.

Cancer may have taken your body, but your love will always live in our hearts. We will miss you every day for the rest of our lives.
