Martha was such a special woman. Her and Tony touched my life for several years, as well as my children’s lives. I still miss the card playing! Everytime they came to visit the Everett/Betty lake home, they always brought special treats for my children and the other grandchildren. So thoughtful! Prayers to your family!
I worked with Martha at FargoClinic/ MeritCare. She always had a smile on her face and she was so pleasant to work with. God Bless you Martha until we meet again!!
I am very saddened by Martha’s passing. Ever since being their paperboy in Mandan, I have many wonderful memories of times spent with Martha and Tony. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and remembering Martha.
My condolences. May the Almighty comfort you.
I met Martha many years ago when I was dating Henry’s friend, Scott. She was always so friendly and kind. Years later I saw her at the Southpointe Clinic and ended up doing her mammogram several years in a row. Of course she remembered me and we always had a nice visit. Only just last month I ran into her and Henry. Such a pleasure to see them both! My thoughts are with the entire family during this sad time.
Martha was very definitely one of a kind, a very special person. She will be missed by all who knew her.
I worked with Martha at Meritcare also she was always a pleasant person to work with my sympathy to her family.
We are sad that we are unable to be with you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Martha was such a wonderful person, with a beautiful disposition. God bless her and her wonderful family.
