  1. Marty….my sweet friend, May she Rest In Peace with her beloved sister by her side. I enjoyed ALL the times, she in my chair, talking a lot of life and rarely hair. I loved her smile, her quick wit, and making her feel pretty as she walked OUT the door. Little did she know she was already pretty when she walked IN the door from the inside out, I just enhanced it! I’ll miss you my friend, but my memories of you will last my lifetime! ❤️ Stacey

  3. Candle Selection 2My dear friend…. You took me under your wing from my first day in the Ana’s Building and a friendship was born. Thank goodness I did not have a pillbox hat!! I cannot believe you are gone yet I know you are rejoicing in God’s kingdom with Randy & Sis. I will always cherish the memories we made together… watching out the window of the beauty shop, sneaking up to the Irish Pub & our trips to the bank. We would compare stories & you always told me I could not top yours! Our memories will live on in my heart forever. Watch over all of us you have left behind and I know we will see each other again. I love you, Marts! Fly high my friend.

  5. My sister, Janet Wajda Bryant, is in a nursing home and has no computer and does
    not text in Wheeling. She was a wonderful friend of Marthas. So sorry to hear that
    she has passed away but I’ll bet God was waiting for her with a special room
    as she was so kind and thoughtful as well. We lived on Orchard Street and she was
    living on West Street. Janet is not doing well with breast cancer and an anerisum and doctors cannot operate so prayers are also with her. Toni Marie Wajda Carozza
