My husband and I are truly sorry for the loss and we would like to express our condolences to the entire family. We simply cannot imagine the great pain and sorrow you are experiencing during this very difficult time. It is our sincere hope you find comfort in knowing that God has promised to ‘swallow up death forever’ (Isaiah 25:8), and that he will resurrect our dear loved ones who have passed away. John 5:28.
Martha was a beloved aunt to me, she knows I loved her, as did my wife and our children. We didn’t see each other much over the last years, due to time and distance, but we did talk and the love was always there. I am truly sad, and send my best to the family. Gordon and Kathy Jolly
