My dearest Martha,
Sending you and your family my love, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I have such fond and wonderful memories of your Mother. I never did figure out how she always seemed to know what you and I were up to during our younger years. In later years when she and I would run into see each other at some store she still had that same dancing sparkle in her eyes, that same smile that could light up any room, and that same laughter that filled your heart with joy. May you find comfort and peace in your strength of faith and in your many memories of your Mother. She truly was a blessing that God shared with many of us.

I hated to hear about Louise’s passing, but know that none of us would call her back from Where she is, in the arms of The Saviour. She was a true Southern lady, a Proverbs 31 woman, & I will never forget her sweet, quiet demeanor, as well as her little giggle. Steele, Nap, Deborah, & rest of the family, know that you’ve been in our thoughts & prayers. We love y’all!

Martha and family, know we think of you all often…precious family!
