It Is Because Of Her, We Are Who We Are

Well, Grandma is in heaven now! We had the most amazing experience of singing her into heaven last night! Read Mom's post about it here. It was beautiful, and such an honor. Tonight we lost the most loving, kind, beautiful woman I have EVER known. But now she is perfect and whole, in both body and mind, and we will see her again! 

We will continue to publish the "Honoring Martha" posts until they're done. And there is still a little bit of time to send in your tribute for the book! Thanks so much for all your support though all of this! ~Love, Stacie

When I think of Aunt Martha, the following thoughts come to mind:

Her kind and gentle ways…

Her love and faithfulness for the Lord…

Her wonderful laugh and sense of humor…

Her hugs and genuine love for everyone, she always made me feel like family…

She has always been the best example for me and my children of what a Mother and Grandmother are suppose  to be.

It is because of her, we are who we are.

I have a poem hanging in the dining room below Tommy’s picture surrounded by April, Heather & Megan’s pictures which best explains how I feel.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same." -   --  Unknown

 I love you Aunt Martha, with all of my heart…

You are so right Terry! She was the very best example, and she sure did leave footprints on our hearts! We all are who we are, in a very big way, because of my little Grandma with the biggest heart I've ever known! Thanks so much for writing this! ~Much love, Stacie
