We are so sorry for your loss. I only recently learned that I am related to Martha. Her father Wilbur and my grandfather Earnest Craft were brothers. Sadly I waited too late to try to contact her. Our prayers are with your family.
I am so very sorry that Martha was taken from you so quickly. I’m happy that I got to know your family during the Hickman Reunion. I know words do not help, but wanted you to know I’m thinking of you. Love, Brenda

I am so very sorry to have learned of Martha’s passing. I worked with her for many years and she was such an inspiration to me. She always had a smile on her face and nothing ever seemed to be a challenge to her. God Bless Curt, Christian, Nathan and families.
