I am so very sad to hear about Martha. We were friends for many years. Martha always loved to get together whenever possible despite living in different provinces. We always had a glass of wine together, relived old memories and laughed at all the fun times we had throughout the years. Martha was one of the most strong and gracious people that I have ever known. I treasured her friendship and will miss her greatly. My deepest sympathies to Keith, Shelley, Karen and their families.
Martha and I were friends since our early childhood, and after we were married, the four of us were always together. We didn't see each other very often after the family moved east, but it was like she was always there, no where in particular, just there. We had another connection when her sister Mary married my brother Don.
We did have dinner together when her and Keith visited Calgary, it was so good to see both of them. I love this photo of Martha, that is how I remember her, always smiling, just like her sister Mary.
We send our love, caring thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
George and Jean Holman
Aunt Martha was always someone that I looked forward to seeing. A nice person with nice things to say. She will be missed.
Martha had an inner strength and calm, gentle personality that was an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. She carried the adversity of her long battle with multiple myeloma without complaint, referring to it as a challenge, and never lost her interest in the people and the world around her. May God bless her!
We will miss the many good times that we spent with you and Keith at the cottage, holidays and the visiting from your house to ours. Good food and many laughs. Rest in peace our good friend.
