I never saw Martha Jean without her beautiful smile on her face. We were among the blessed who received a couple of her newsy beautifully written letters and red velvet cake. Dana and Renee loved their excursions with their grandmas when they were little girls. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

It is so sad to lose the matriarch of our family. My heart and prayers go out to all of you at this difficult time. I so enjoyed our lunches together and all her stories about when she and dad were young. She was always so happy and encouraging right to the end.
