God Bless You Martha. Looking back in life, you were one of the most important, special, kind and loving people in my life. You helped and guided me as a teenager and young mother to Stacey, your 1st granddaugter. I remember one night we both sat at the door where Stacey was sleeping, contemplating when we would go in to get her as she started crying. They say let the baby stir a little before getting her or else you will spoil them, we both whispered back and forth until we finally said, "forget this" lol and went in to cuddle her together. That moment was so nice, cute and funny as you helped me be strong saying. "Maybe just one more minute" lol And also when Moose was so excited to have his 1st grandchild and would go pick her up from her crib before I could, as well as in the middle of the night, I would get to the crib and she wasnt there and you scolded him lol and told him he just shouldnt do that. You always had my back. And truly that meant the world. You loved your grandchildren and we all loved you very much and loved being with you both almost every Sunday after the girls and I came back from church. I still cherish those Sunday's. Those memories will always have a most meaningful place in my heart. Thank you for loving us, teaching us, helping us, and supporting us and being an amazing women in our lives. We are all grateful as our lives were richly blessed because of you. I have missed you. Rest peacefully.
