"My mom and I send our thoughts and prayers. It was a pleasure and honor knowing Martha. When she would have her hair appointment at the salon she would always smile and hug my mom and I. We loved her dearly. She was one of the sweetest people that you would ever want to meet. My mom and I will surely miss her. Thank you Martha for sharing part of your life with us. Peace be with you and your family."
