The Scott Club members are carrying broken hearts. This lady had a love and skill for the 125 year-old building and all it represents. Her tool chest, whistling, weather interest and love for her Ohio University all melted together to create an astute gregarious woman. She is missed and we extend to her family our love.

Martha was a dear friend to my mom and dad. They enjoyed each many memorable times. I had the honor of taking my Mom to River Ridge to visit Martha when she was having the start of her health problems. She was still so cheerful, but frustrated by her lack of mobility and the amount of medicine she had to take. I will cherish the thoughts of her rallying the other ladies at the retirement home to enjoy the simple things, like making cookies and having a clothes line art fair. She was a remarkable woman.

Marty was a wonder neighbor when we first moved to South Haven. John traveled a lot while we were there and Marty and Ad came to my rescus many times. I remember especiallly one time when a pipe broke in winter and flooded the basement. They immediate came to help clean up the mess. We enjoyed walks to the beach many summer days. We found things to laugh about and had dinners together.

Fred and I are so sorry for your loss. You and your siblings did so much for your Mom. I know you will all miss her but perhaps you can take solace in the fact that she did not suffer much and is now in a better place.

To the Roberts Family, We are deeply sorry for your loss. Martha will always remain in our loving memories of our summers in Michigan. Thoughts of her whistling, her knee pads and her blueberry pie will always bring a smile to our faces. She definately left her mark in this world and I'm sure that she's holding hands with Addie smiling down at all of us. She was a great lady, one to admire and love. Our thoughts and blessings are with you today and always as you carry on her legacy. Love Peg, Tom, Katelyn, Megan & Tommy Erickson

Dear Roberts Famiy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this sad occasion. We have nothing but the fondest memories of your mother. When she walked into a room her enthusiam commanded a presence. She enjoyed life. Our attempted trip to town via the beach was a favorite memory. But then again there were so many great memories, blueberry pancakes, crafts, gardening, compacting the leaves, picking blueberries, tea parties, etc. She was a significant part of the happiness we shared in South Haven. She will be sorely missed. South Haven will not be the same without her. Please know that we share your loss and will always keep her memory dear in our hearts. With love and sympathy,

Martha - You were always such a wonderful friend to our family. Every time we came to Michigan, you had something new to show us, whether it was your flower that only bloomed once every 17 years, and happened to bloom the night we arrived, or a trip out to a pond to look for deer. You shared the things you knew and loved, the things that interested you, with everyone you met, and that's a priceless gift. We will miss your unique personality, the conversations, and the always entertaining ideas you brought to all of our lives.

Dear Judy, Lynn, Steve, Nancy and familes, we are very sorry about the passing of your dear mother. We loved her dearly. I am sending you some letters from and to her that I hope you will enjoy. I'm sorry I missed the service. It took 9 hours to get to and from Ann Arbor yesterday in the storm. Your mom might have appreciated that I was travelling to and from a rival school = U-M. Serves me right! :-) You are in our prayers. Pat Fitton

I am so sorry for your loss. My famiy lived next door to Martha in the white bi-level a few years back. We lived there when he husband died. I remember her garden and the hours she would spend in it. She was a very sweet woman. She was one of my fond memories as a child. She will be missed.

Bob and I moved to SH in February 1984 and moved into the house next to Martha's. Martha had a dog named Ginny at the time. A black cocker spaniel. It's funny how things happen in life that seem like they were meant to be. Martha had just loss her beloved husbandn in 1983, and I had moved from RI leaving 3 teenage children with their father, left a job, other family, friends and my identity. And then I met Martha. We were so good for each other. Martha was a very unique person. I had never, and to this day, have never met a person who lost the door on their new vehicle. Well, Martha did. The door was completely seperated from the car. Amazing!! Bob and I helped her get the door back onto the car. Martha was special to both of us. I take a part of her with me everyday and wake greeting the day with anticipation of new challenges. Martha loved a challenge. She loved her family, life and fun. The world is a better place for having had her in it. We will miss you Martha. We extend our thoughts and prayers to the entire Robert's family. Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
