Martha. Such a blessing every time I was in her presence. She was always ready to do what was needed to spread the Gospel. I am just one of many people who were touched by her genuine love and Christian walk. I loved her smile, and her obvious love and support for her son, Ralph. We will miss her, but we know she is smiling with indescribable joy as she beholds her Savior's Face. So sorry for those who she left behind...One day you will see her again and spend an eternity marveling at the wonders of Paradise with her. Lance and Michelle Rowe and Tribe
