It was a beautiful and loving tribute to Martha. We will think of her with every snowman that decorates the holidays and every dove of peace. Even lipstick will take on new meaning! Joyful memories of Martha will live in us all at family gatherings. We were all blessed to have known her. With love from the Nygards of Marin
It was always a pleasure visiting Martha in her home as we the Samaritan visitors from Hope Church enjoyed her company usually once a month. She was so sweet, warm and so much fun. Always looking beautiful. It was our pleasure to share communion with her each and every time we were together. She surely will be missed. This message is sent with love and thanks to her for our time together as she always made it special. Sincerely, Sonja Gandola (one of the many Samaritan visitors from Hope Church)
Martha was a terrific person to know and a wonderful neighbor. When we moved into our home thirty years ago, she was the first person to come over and introduce herself. She made us feel so welcome. Our whole family really valued the relationship we had with her and Lyle. You can judge how great they were by how their children and grandchildren turned out. They produced a model family. Our condolences to the family. We are thinking of you with deepest sympathy and wishing you peace. Rest in peace, Martha. Love,Steve and Cheryl Collins & Family
