Such a poised beautiful woman, dedicated wife, mother, loving grandmother and truly selfless lady. In the years I knew Mom Martha, she never knew a strange or ever had a negative word to say about anyone. She always greeted people with her warm smile and respect. My heart is heavy with her departure but, I know she's with Ed in a better place and making a difference. She gave life to and raised one of the very few people I hold unconditionally very close and dear to my heart. With nothing less than love, gratitude, and fond memories, thank you Mom Martha & Mr K .. keep on shining 💞💖💞 -till them. Love ya! ~D
