To 'The Emerson's'
I am deeply saddened to hear of Martha's passing. You had one of the kindest and most generous mother'/grandmother's a person could ever have known. She was one of a kind, and a true friend.
May each passing day find you comfort, and a plethora of fond memories each of you had with her. I will miss her, "Hello Sunshine" greeting and that cute little laugh!
Sincerely,
Doris
