I miss my friend. Saying prayers for comfort for David, Cathy & Walt and kids, and the rest of the family that Marty loved to beam about when we went out for lunches or when she came into the church while I was the Administrative Assistant. May you feel Jesus holding you as friends and loved ones hug you.

Aunt Martha was a great aunt, always filled with lots of enthusiasm and always working on some new project or cause. She was wonderful to me and I have many fond memories of her and her family. I think she lived life to the fullest and I take comfort in knowing she is in a peaceful place. I will always love and miss her. My prayers are with all of her family. Mary Jane.

Dear Grier/Wohlfert Family, I am sorry that I am not able to be there in person. Please know that I am there in spirirt and in prayer for you all. I wish there were some magical words that I could use to take away the pain you are experiencing right now. But, there are none. I hope you all know that when you are having those moments when you aren't even sure what is happening or why, you can always give me a call and I'll be there for you with understanding, tissue and chocolate. Love you all...

I was shocked and saddened to see that Marty had died. She and I did not really know each other, we had collaborated on the Barrett/Phillips genealogy in the past. Since I am still working, I had not had much time the past few years to work on my genealogy, but having the economy cause my work hours to be cut, I was looking forward to having time to pursue the hobby again this year and had planned on contacting her in the near future. May the God of all comfort and peace be with you and grant you many fond memories of Marty. I know you will miss her and it seems too soon to let her go. In Christ, Gayla

I have fond memories of your mother and my mother, joking and laughing. Your mother was a wonderful friend to my mom and gave her so much support when she was battling cancer. I saw Marty this past October during the visitation for my dad. It was so nice to see her after all these years. I will miss her. I am so sorry for your loss.
