Martha was such a beautiful role model for me!! She actually had the same birthday as my own mother, and Martha’s sweet and caring personality often reminded me of her. I visited Martha a few time at Westminster. As sad as I am to hear of her passing, I can only rejoice that she is free of her earthly ailments and is now celebrating with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please accept my condolences and know she was loved and admired by many. I’m sorry that I will be out of town on Wednesday and will miss her funeral.
