Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember spending many a day at your house eating popcorn and holding "cutest baby contests". Your mom always made us feel welcome.

Dear Pat, Dale, and Alexandra,
Martha was such a warm, friendly person who will be greatly missed. I remember her at our second grade room parties. She was so kind to all the kids, and they enjoyed her and all the attention she gave them. She was truly special as are all of you. You are in our prayers, Nancy and Jerry
