My condolences ànd prayers are with you during this painful time may God comfort you
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I always told your mom she was my second mom. She was such a loving and thoughtful person. Her and I had so much fun at the Balaton nursing home. We always said those were the good days. God Bless & Keep you all.
Sorry to hear of Martha’s passing. She was a super roommate for my mother at the Manor. She will be dearly missed.
Your Mom was so friendly to everyone with such a nice smile and twinkle in her eye. She will be missed by so many.
Just think of her happy reunion in Heaven. You have my sympathy and prayers.

My prayers are with the family of Martha. She totally won my heart on my first day at the nursing home as she always had a smile and funny comment to share with me. She was the sunshine of every day I was able to be with her. Praying for God to wrap his arms around her family and friends at this time of healing!
