Rest in peace Martha. You will surely be missed by so many here, but we know you are in a much better place. Give Jeda a hug from all of us, and Aunt Rose too. You were my second Mom and I learned so much about life, about family, and about cooking. They are memories that I will cherish all the rest of my days. We love you and will miss you until we meet again.
I was saddened by the news of Martha\’s death. She was one of my \”older\” girl cousins who willingly tolerated my tagging along. I will always remember her happy smiling face.
My condolences to all of you. Know that she is resting peacefully and her suffering is over. Being in SC makes it impossible for me to be with you there, but she and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Family,
my deepest sympathy to you. I remember Martha as a kind warm and friendly lady when I was a child and would see her at my aunt Rose’s house when my mom–Fran would bring me and my brother Fred to visit with Aunt Rose and my cousins Greg Rodney and Douglas. Memory Eternal.
My deepest condolences to the DiAntonio family. Martha was an amazing lady. Knew what she wanted and let you know, but with a loving smile on her face and was always so quick with a joke! I’ll never forget the loving way she would always ask about my children and what was going on In my life, regardless of what trials she was facing at that moment. I helped in assisting her at Pataskala Oaks, she had this bracelet that had little angels that dangled from it, one day being silly I asked her if she wanted to wear her bracelet with little “Christy’s” on it? She laughed and laughed and from them on would always say “Now, don’t forget to put my Christy bracelet on me!” She had such a Godly heart. We here on Earth have sad hearts, but heavens are blessed to have her!
