Bye Martha,
It was a joy and a privilege to love you and serve you for these 45
Years together. Words can't express the grief I share with friends and family that loved you dearly. You were my soul mate and encourager.
Without you I could never have been a success in this life. God placed you in my life for a reason. You completed me and helped me in every area of my life. You taught me how to cheerfully give and to never give up when things got tough. Even in the midst of your pain and suffering God's spirit radiated from you like a beacon in the night. My heart is broken now but I know I will see you again someday because God's children never die. They just pass on to glory. An eternal glory that will never pass away. Bye for now Sweetie.
Your loving Husband,
Raymond

Dear Raymond, so very sorry illness kept me from the service. How blessed you were to have Martha as your wife, and how blessed so many of us were to call her friend. She was so very precious. We all have so many blessed memories to cherish. Martha was a great prayer Warrior. She is now a part of the great Cloud of Witnesses. We are all getting a little Homesick I think. Love, Wanda Taylor Bankson

Words can't describe this wonderful Saint. She overcame the worse and did it with a brilliant smile on her face. Her love for the Lord radiated in every word that she spoke and every song that she sang. I will be forever blessed and grateful that God allowed me to be a part of her life. Our love to Raymond and the family. She is in her beloved heavenly home. All our love. The Dollars
