So sorry for your loss. I worked with her parents at East Mental Hospital. They were lovely people. Her mother would come to work early so she could visit with me and tell me about Martha.

What a beautiful, sweet, gentle lady our Class of '63 has lost. As we were growing up, Martha Ann and I spent many good times together laughing at school and visiting one another's homes. I am so grateful for these wonderful memories, and I am most certain that she is now an angel among the angels. God bless her.
