"So sad to hear the news of Mrs Martha's passing. She was my mothers caregiver and friend for many years. We moved mom to Oklahoma in 2020 and she and Martha did their best to stay in touch. We were also blessed to know Keith and Ashley and son. Prayers for the entire family and thank you for sharing Martha with us she was a true blessing."
