I will miss Aunt Martha so much. But she is in a much better place now. Now she is in Heaven with her sisters and my daddy, Rusty. And aunt Cathy. I bet they are so happy to see her again, and were waiting on her at the gates! I love you aunt Martha!!

Martha was the most selfless, loving and giving person to her family. GOD has a special place for her in heaven. She walked the life of ‘what would Jesus do?’. She was a wonderful Nany to my daughters and her life will inspire them forever. May GOD wrap his arms around all the family and support them through this difficult time. With love and prayers, Charlotte.
Aunt Martha’s leaving us and going to join her sisters, brothers and parents leaves us with such an empty place in our lives. We know that family circle has been rejoined in Heaven, but we miss them all so much. All our love and prayers go to Roger, Melonie, Kristy and their families. Michael and Loretta
