Martha Kauffman Condolences
I never had the pleasure of knowing or even meeting Mrs. Kauffman but have enjoyed very much working and becoming freinds with her son, Jeff. I can only imagine that Jeff's fine character and sense of humor is a directly attributed to Margaret.

Our Mothers Are Special
Jeff,
Mothers hold an imporatant part in our lives. Our childhood memories with Mom are so precious. Advice from Mom on our growing pains is always comforting. Many aspirations instilled in us through adulthood come from Mom. Mom can always make us laugh. And Mom behind the scence cheers for and wants us to succeed in life. Always remember, "Our Mothers Are Special".
I will always remember your Mother on April 1st.
Our deepest sympathies goes out to you and your family during this difficult time,
Les & Linda Ragan
Sweet Memories
Dear Jeff and Family,
I hold sweet memories of Martha, as I came to know her through Cochranville United Methodist Church and my friendship with Jeff. She was always so very kind and greeted so many with a warm smile and a beautiful 'hello''. She had a keen sense for style and everything in place.
Warm thoughts to you all. Please know there will be but 'one Martha' and I am delighted I was able to peek into her life.
