Martha was like a second mom to me. Her daughter Nicole and I have been friend's for several years. They lived right behind my family and I, when I was growing up.  Many day's and nights, I stayed over at thier home and vice versa. Nicole and I were inseparable for many years. This family is definitely my second family. We all love Martha and will miss her very much. Until we meet again Martha, Rest In Paradise and fly with the angels <3
