It has been years since I had worked with Martha, but I will always remember her having her trademark ready smile and always willing to lend a helping hand. I cherished my time with her as I know her family did as well. Martha was always willing to stand up for the little guy. She will be missed. I feel truly blessed to have known Martha. Although our work time together was brief, she made a lasting impression on me as she did everyone who had contact with her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

May God's love surround you and give you some comfort in your grief. Words can't rightfully express my feelings of sadness, but I also feel great joy to have been a friend of Martha's and to know that she is with our Lord. We plan to give a donation to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in memory of Martha, which we have been doing in the past. Love, Monty and Family, I didn't know Martha that well, but feel a connection because of the cancer and the fact I was once a Woodfin. This is a hard time, and time is the only thing that will heal your loss. Just know some day you all will be together again. May God give you the peace and comfort you so need today and in the coming days. Chris, I remember meeting your mother with your Dad & Gina at a July 4 event we attended together. I remember thinking what a lovely person she is and we now know where you got those eyes!. God Bless you, Gina your Dad and family. Bob & I's prayers are with you. Sincerely, Pam Posted by: Pam Brown at November 14, 2009 11:14 PMMy love and prayers to Martha's family. When I think of Martha, I find myself asking, "Lord, couldn't we have had her just a little longer to help us through one more difficult time", just the way she helped so many of us so often with her love and support.We will miss her more than words can say. Life will not be the same without her; she was so strong, and gave to others so unselfishly. All who knew her were truly blessed.
