I met Martha as one of her caregivers and she was a very lovely  lady!!! I enjoyed many Uno, Bingo, and Domino games with her...she was the Uno Master...I couldn’t win even when I really tried!!! She had a great sense of humor and a wit about her that was honest and refreshing. She enjoyed reminiscing about the travels and cruises  with her hubby and family, her sisters and brother along with her Mom and Dad...her life was of beauty and rare treasure...she lived life to the fullest with a heart full of love, a laughter full of joy, and a smile that was contagious!!! Martha always had a smile and word of encouragement to those she encountered...a smile of hope even in the midst of what seemed hopeless...that was one of  her treasures...she spoke up and defended the weak and encouraged them to move forward with their head held high...that she always had their back...I will surely miss the conversations and time with her...One of her most valued treasures was her family whom she LOVED SOOO VERY VERY MUCH...she loved sharing their pictures and memories...I enjoyed her laughter and delight when their pictures sprang up on the moving photo frame...pictures of family gatherings and celebrations...she was VERY WELL LOVED AND TREASURED BY HER FAMILY...my deepest sympathy and condolences to her daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren and friends...my prayers and thoughts are with you all

So sorry we are so out of touch, and these times even make it worse.   It was very sad to hear about Martha.   She was my sister,  even though we didn't grow up together.  I grew up with her children.   So my memories of Martha  are a little different then those of my other sisters.   My favorite memories  of Martha is Christmas time.  You know that house you make sure you go to around lunch time.    Best food layout ever.    
Sure did miss that when Y"all moved.  

Love, Deb
