Martha, although you are no longer with us, I want you to know how much you were loved by your family and friends. I was lucky enough to have you as a part of my family. I want you to know that even though you are no longer with us, you are here in spirit for us. We think about you during this time and miss you so much. I always asked Denise for you when we talked on the phone. Since I first met you for Dennis and Denise's wedding I considered you family and a good friend. Those of us who knew you, as a friend, as mom or grandma, witnessed a strength not seen in many, with passion and praise for the ones you loved, your tenderness and understanding was beyond reproach. You are the light that will burn forever in the hearts of those you loved. You had a heart of gold.

Martha, you were an amazing, loving wife, Mother, and friend. Your family meant the world to you and you always made sure they were well taken care of. I saw how you took care of Doug when he lived with us in Hawaii and how you were always there for all your children and grandchildren without asking for anything in return. They were the joy of your life.

You had a personality like no other, always friendly, smiling, laughing and welcoming when you would welcome us into your home. You are a beautiful soul whom everyone will miss greatly especially Ryan, Raymond, Kyle and your husband. Your smile and kindness for your daughters, sons, and grandchildren and Denise will dwell within the hearts of the lives you touched and your radiance will now adorn the walls of your heavenly home.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, part of us went with you, the day the Lord took you home. If the tears that were shed for you by your family and friends could build stairways, and heartaches would make a lane, we would walk our way to heaven, and bring you home again. In our hearts and especially in your children's hearts you hold a special place that no one will replace.

The memory of your love and life will live on forever in Adrian, your sons Dennis, Doug, daughters, Evie, Daniel, daughter-in-law Denise and your beloved grandchildren and great grandchildren. You will be missed but never forgotten. REST IN PEACE MARTHA
