Condolences
Martha's death
So sorry to read in the newspaper the passing of your beloved wife, Martha.
Believe we were in the same homerooms at Scott Sr High-graduating in 1955. We saw the beginnings of love between you and Martha. She was always helpful to us during High School. I lost my husband this year. Our spouses death take a large part of our hearts with them but we still have the MEMORIES. Jesus does walk beside us in the darkness, loneliness.May God be with you. Blessings!
