Randy and Marsha, so sorry to hear about your loss. Martha was a great lady, she and I crossed paths a lot and attended the same community meeting while I was working at Head Start in Greensburg. Prayers for you and your family.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Martha. May God comfort her family during this difficult time.
Martha was a wonderful person. She had to give up one of her peek a poo’s many years ago. She gave him to me his name was Riley.I loved that little dog with all my heart. Martha had taken such good care of him.She is with him now in heaven.
