I am so sorry for your loss. You have experienced so much loss in recent years. I hope joy can find its way back into your lives. I loved Martha’s obituary; so many interesting and wonderful things about her that I did not know. What an amazing woman! May peace flow to you all like a river.

I have so many memories. In most of them Martha is smiling and spending time with her kids. She had a free and wild spirit. I will be thinking of you girls (Suzy, Jennifer and Erin),Marco and Timmy in the coming weeks.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
