I was glad that John gave the option of speaking at Martha's memorial serviceyesterday. If I'd known ahead of time, I might have said more! As I indicated at the service, knowing Martha was a blessing! She was a helper of many (including my own daughter -- as Janine shared in another condolence note). She and Wendy could no doubt have shared similar experiences. In church circles, we speak about "spiritual gifts" that God entrusts to his followers, and Martha certainly demonstrated gifts of helping, encouragement and generosity. She was truly a "salt of the earth" person! May you all be comforted by happy memories of your own from your relationship with her!
