Terri, Sara and entire family, I was so sorry when I read the news of your Mom’s and Grandmother’s passing. Life has delivered some hard blows to your family recently, and I can’t imagine what you must be going through. I pray that God with His abundant love and kindness will give you peace and comfort as you now deal with this loss. God gives us trials to deal with all the time, but He is also so good that he will bring us through them. If He takes you to it, He will take you through it. Trust and believe, which I know you do, and your faith will get you through.
God Bless you and your family,
Dee

We so enjoyed having Jean volunteer at the Martin Resource Centerr. Her smile brightened many days and her positive attitude was a boost to times when the work was difficult.
Our first director, Marcia Beare, appreciated Jean’s help with tasks at hand and many times I would hear their laughter coming from the office when Jean was there.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you as you go through this period of loss and grief.
