November 5, 2021 at 11:15 amI was saddened to hear of the passing of my classmate (Crestwood High School class of 1966). I remember Martha as a kind and caring person. She had a gentle spirit and always a smile to greet you. My prayer is that God will give her family strength during this time of bereavement.

November 5, 2021 at 7:52 pmA tribute to sis,
You never look for praise, You were never one to boast, You just went on quietly seeking and speaking to god. Your dreams were seldom spoken, Your words were very few, And most of the times your worries were unspoken too. You sought a firm foundation, through all your storms of life you kept holding to gods sturdy unchanging hands a sturdy hand to hold to in time of stress and strife two of her greatest blessing was her trusting god and her loyal husband sis, we love you and we will miss but god loves you too, so go ahead to take your rest cause god loves you best sadly and humbly summited the family of uncle Ernest and aunt Effie

November 6, 2021 at 1:25 pmPrayerfully I offer this scripture that God gave to us in His word from Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”” Since God does not lie, we have to believe that this true. This gives us Hope. 💕
One of my fondest memories is of you and Mike opening your home to us for the Charity and Hilliard Family Reunion 2021.Everything was WONDERFUL. Thank you again.
Your Cousins from the Rev. Horace and Mary Cox family.
