So grateful that you were such a special part of my life. RIP, Martha. Love you always. My condolences and prayers to the Wilson family.
I was so lucky to have you as my mom. I will forever miss you and will have to learn how to be on this earth without you. I am fortunate to have been with you until your final breath. Knowing that there were 3 little white dogs waiting for you at the rainbow bridge. I know it hurt for you to leave, I saw the tears in your eyes when I said good bye. But Dad, Grandma and your many friends were waiting for you to join them. Enjoy your new, well earned wings. I look forward to being with you again someday. Until then, my beautiful momma, I love you so much!
It is with sadness on my heart that I send my sympathy to you, Susan, and the Wilson family. Martha was a special person and always would light up the room with her sparkle. The obit mentioned one of her favorite jobs was at Hyatt Medical. I fondly remember interviewing Martha for her position in the company and I knew she would be an asset. Donna, her best friend at Hyatt, will be waiting with open arms to greet her in heaven. Everyone loved Martha and her special Texas hospitality and personality.
I will miss her happy, joyful face and messages on Facebook, but will treasure the many memories.
Richard and Susan, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Martha’s passing. She was the last of the family and my favorite Aunt. Every time we went to Grandmas for family get togethers and she was there I remember her as being so beautiful with that beautiful red hair. My dad often told me I was beautiful just like her lol. Susan I don’t know if you remember the matching dolls our moms go us for Christmas when we were little, well I still have mine, she doesn’t have much hair left from trying to style it. Well I just wanted to let you know how sad I am that I won’t ever see that big beautiful smile of hers again. She has gone to be with Jesus, but as long as we has wonderful memories of her she will live on. Take care, and if you are ever up in Washington State let me know I would love to see you again.
