Dallas family, I have just heard about Martha Jo's passing. I am so sorry to hear this. Scotty and I visited with her after my aunt Sarah Fugatt Johnson's funeral in February at Beryl Cem. My family (Fugatt and Avra) go way back to Beryl Baptist Church with Benny and Martha Jo. I definitely would have been at her funeral if I had known about it. My condolences and prayers to all her family.

Beautiful pictures of beautiful people on this website. Martha's legacy is her wonderful family.
You must take comfort in knowing that you have
a wonderful Mother and you always will. She's gone a few steps ahead, but in the not so distant future you'll join her with all the joy eternal families bring. Our faith is that our Heavenly Father and His Son have made this possible.
Love to you,

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Dallas' passing. She was always such a pleasant person. I can't recall a time that I've ever seen her without a big ole smile on her face. She was obviously a happy person and made those around her feel the same way. I know she'll be missed. I'm praying for God's comfort for you all.
