I have known Marty for years, she was like a aunt to me. She had the most friendly cheerful personality.There was never a time she hasn’t made me laugh I loved being around her. I was heartbroken when I was called and told the lord has taken her home. She is in heaven with Jesus and all her passed loved ones and not suffering anymore. Rip Marty you may not be down here with us but you will always live forever in our hearts.

I look back over my life and I have so much to be thankful for. Mommy, you did so much to protect, love and teach me. You will be missed and my heart aches for daddy who is missing his best friend so dearly. Thank you for all that you did and tried to do for me. You will not be forgotten. ~ Always, missy

God’s Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

We are so sorry to hear about Martha, we just found out today 4/25/13. She was so special to us, I have heard my mom (Reneca) and grandma (Avenell) tell us many stories about growing up with Martha. Avenell and mom was so excited that we finally had gotten in contact with her and Peggy after many years of trying to locate them. And especially they all came to visit and Martha got to stay a couple of weeks with Avenell. Please accept our condolences and apologies for not founding out sooner. We loved Martha, I loved talking to her on the computer too. Bless her heart, she will be missed.. Love to all, Dee Dee & her family in KY.
