Nancy, Cheryl and I have you and your family in our Prayers. Your Mother was a Grand Lady, but God needed a special Angel so he called her home. She was met at the gates of Heaven by your Dad. The first thing your Dad said to her was, It took you long enough. Love you Gal. DD & Cheryl

When I think of Aunt Mart I think of warmth and geniality.
She had that special ability to make you feel like you are the person she’s been waiting to see to all day, even if she didn’t know you. Her stories are hilarious and her positive attitude was infectious. She will always be one of the great characters of many lives.
Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Heaven just got a lot more fun.

Ms. Martha was a truly kind and beautiful person. It was a privilege getting to know her when she moved to Rayne to be with her daughter and son-in-law. She was a loving member of our community and will be dearly missed. Thank you, Nancy and Jim, for sharing her with us.

Martha was mother's best friend. We grew up with the Clark and Rushing families and want to share out condolences. Mike and I both left the community at a young age but Miss Martha was present for our formative years. Our thanks.
