Our condolences to Martha´s family. She welcomed our family with open arms when we joined First Christian church in 1981. She is indeed an angel now visiting with old friends. May we all reunite soon where there will be no pain, only an eternity of worshiping our Father. Gary and Becky Bunn

Michael, we are so sorry for your loss. Your Mother always told us how you and your wife took such good care of her. She and our Mother Pansy Slaybaugh, were as close as sisters. We would take them out to eat after church many times and they had us laughing all the time. Your mother was one of the sweetest and caring person we ever knew. Loved her like another mother. She and our mother are together again and enjoying each other again. Thank you for being so kind to Martha. God will be proud of you as he said we must honor our mothers and fathers. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Larry and Marty Hoover
