So very sorry to hear of Martha's passing. My condolences to the family. I had the privilege of working with Martha while I was Assoc Nurse Mgr in the Emer Dept about 28 years. What a delightful lady. Hopefully her final days were peaceful. She leaves a wonderful legacy.
I remember Genevieve and Monroe walking up to visit with my parents when I was a child. They would sit and talk on the porch. I believe the last time I saw and talked with Genevieve was at the Plum Run fair many years ago. I remember her so well....she was a very pleasant lady. So sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for the family during this difficult time.
