"Aunt Martha Always Showed Me How To Plant Flowers On The Graves"

My husband spoke with a printer yesterday, and it is going to take four business days to publish the "Honoring Martha" book that we will be giving out at Grandma's memorial service. If you would like to make sure your tribute is included in the book, we are asking that you send your responses to staciemknapp@gmail.com by Tuesday the 25th. Thank you! ~Love Stacie

 

Today's post comes from Heather Harvey Fico's other daughter, Madilynn Fico.

Aunt Martha always showed me how to plant flowers on the graves.  She would talk to me while we planted the flowers.  She showed me how to put the flowers in the hole without the roots showing.  She used to give me candy.  She always told me how pretty I was.  She used to take walks with me.  We used to go see her at my Great Poppy's house when she came to visit him and she would watch me and Bella roll down the big hill.  I love her very much.
