4 Condolences
Deepest sympathy to the family. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Most Sincerely,
Marilyn Fidler
Condolences to Wayne, Karen, Denny, Becky and so many others who have loved and been loved by Martha. I hope it gives you some comfort to know that the end of her time on this earth does not mean the end of her beautiful love story. That will live on and will keep her forever in our hearts.
Aunt Martha was the sweetest, dearest person one could ever hope to know. She was a surrogate mother to me during my youth, and I am so fortunate to have had her in my life. You will all be in our thoughts on Monday as you celebrate her wonderful life.
I remember Martha, your family and my time in Glenwood with fondness. She is now being blessed even as she blessed others in her life. May your hearts know God’s peace during your time of sorrow.
