Life With Martha: She Was the Sweetest and Most Loving Person I Have Ever Known

Don't forget, you have until Friday to get me your tribute, so if you still want to write something, you have time! :-) I don't want anyone to be left out.....

Today's post in our "Honoring Martha" series comes from David Davis, and his wife Dawn.

What I remember most about Aunt Martha....She was the sweetest and most loving person that I have ever known.

When Aunt Martha met Dawn for the first time she really liked her and said that I have found a good woman. That made me feel good.Well Aunt Martha was right I did get a good one.

I remember when I was in basic training and wanted to quit and come home I called her one Sat. night to talk to her she gave me the strength to stick it out and I did just that.What helped me through was the praying that we did on the phone. And all the other soldiers were laughing at me because I was praying to someone on the phone. But it didn't bother me in the least because Aunt Martha was on the other end listening to my prayers.

When I use to go and spend the summers at her house we use to talk about a lot of different things and she always knew what to say and do to make me feel better and deal with things.

Aunt Martha was an awesome person that had more love for her family and the Lord then anyone I have ever met. When I was around her I always felt so safe and secure and I knew nothing would ever happen to me.

I also remember the picnics we would have in Gilboa on Memorial weekend and at our farm in Northfield. She would always play games with all the kids.

The most special memory I had about Aunt Martha was when I graduated from high school.No one in the family thought I would ever do it, myself included. She knew I would do it because she told me long before I graduated.

I will never forget the impact that Aunt Martha has had on mine and all my family's lives. This tribute to her was an awesome idea and it will be there for all of us who loved and cherished her, to go back and see these things when we feel down and want to be lifted up.

Thank you Aunt Martha for being the best Aunt and I love you more than words can ever say and my memories of you will be with me forever.

I love you Aunt Martha.

David

I just want to say what a true blessing Aunt Martha has been for me and the boys as well. She always had a smile on her face anytime we were with her. Not a bad thing to say about anyone. She truly made me feel welcomed into the family. I always enjoyed the family gatherings. Scott and Tyler loved her a lot too. Sometimes Aunt Martha and Betty would tell me stories of things they used to do when they were younger. They would have me in stitches and sometimes in disbelief about some of the things they did. I also enjoyed talking with Aunt Martha about the Lord. What a wonderful lady she is and we will miss her when she enters into the eternal life. We love you Aunt Martha! ~Dawn
