Martha was our 4H leader back in the ’60 s. My sisters and I were at the Children’s Home. Tom and her made a big difference in our lives. She has been a blessing in my life.
Thank you Martha

Martha was a great inspiration and was loved by all that knew her. She said many times what a wonderful and blessed life she had lived and not to mourn her when she passed. I always replied, “I know but, I will miss you”. I surely do. We always talked about how blessed she was to have such great neighbors and friends. Thanks to all of you for your kindness. Her wisdom and encouragement will live with me forever. I was blessed to get a last visit just a few days before she passed. Thank you Lord for that. Ellen Tyler
