My heart and prayers go out to the family of Martha, I will truly miss her. Martha was a warm, kind and gentle woman who didn’t let barriers of any kind stand in her way. A woman who loved truth. John 5:28, and 29, Acts 24:15, along with Revelation 21:3-5 are all truths that Jesus Christ and his Father Jehovah God promised that they will com true, so I look forward when Psalms 37:10, 11, and 29 are a reality so I can see my dear friend again. My love, prayers and warm thoughts to you all.
Much love Vonda Greene
