    She always had a sweet smile and a quiet spirit. I will miss talking to her at church on Sundays. Truly a great Christian lady.

    Sissy was my Aunt, my Mother's sister. We lived in California when I was a child and I'll always remember the cross country trips to Mitchell to see the family. One of my favorite parts of the trip was going out to see Sissy and Uncle Bob on the farm. Farm life was so foreign and fascinating to me. I loved the openess, the cows, and most of all, catching lightening bugs with my cousins. They are memories I'll cherish forever. My deepest condolences go out to Nancy, Tim, John, Jason, all of their spouses, children and grandchildren. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.

    My father worked with her and went to school with her. They spent so much time laughing and telling jokes. They are probably in Heaven doing it again. Martha was a beautiful, kind, loving person. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
