She was truely one of the finest persons I have ever known. From the days of her and Rose playing the slots and her and I being unbeatable at Euchre. I have lost another member of my family and will dearly miss her.
To the family, We were so sorry to hear about your mother. It’s so hard to lose both parents within two years. Martha was a fun loving person and loved life and her family. She will be sadly missed by all. The Lahrs
Martha was a very dedicated employee & tons of fun to work with. She had a way of making funny remarks about the least little thing & was always laughing at life. We’ll miss her sense of humor. She loved her family & esp. little Jack – she couldn’t say enough about him! Johnny, Mike & family, you have our deepest sympathy, but know that she will NEVER be forgotten.
To John Jr. & Family: Our thoughts and prayers are with all of your family at this time. May you find comfort in the grace of God.
MY SINCERE SYMPATHY AND PRAYERS
To John and Michael, Both your mother and your father were truly kind people. You will always miss your parents, but you will keep their memories alive in your heart until you one day meet again in heaven. Prayers for blessings for you and your families. Barbara
