My Prayers Extended to You ( Wes ) and your Family. I remember meeting your Mom when we first became friends in 2007. She was such a nice lady and then getting to see her several times down through the years. Such a kind and wonderful lady. Heaven had gained yet another Angel. May God provide you Strength and Comfort during this Time.

Dear Wes & Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I I wish peace and comfort to you during this difficult time. I feel fortunate to have met Martha and share time together with her and your family. She was a joy, very smart and funny. These traits can also be found in you and other relatives I have met over the years. She lives on in you. With kindest regards and my love, Cindy Block
