My mother was a truly excellent parent and my best friend.   She taught me how to read by the age of two.  She stayed at home until I was fourteen years old to make sure I got established well enough in life before she went back to work.  She worked with me for countless hours on school projects, and taught me basic math.  She gave me a real appreciation for the arts, especially classical paintings and sculpture.  She also gave me firsthand knowledge of the value of traveling to different countries and how that can expand one’s horizons.  And most importantly, she showed me God’s love.  Even when she was near the end of her life and filled with cancer, she wanted to make doctors appointments so she could be a witness to them for Christ.  That was a very moving and wonderful example of Christian love.  

I have lost the mother of my life and my best friend, but I know she is with the Lord Jesus, and that brings me much comfort and peace.  

May you all receive Jesus as Lord and Savior by God’s grace.  

Martha Jane is now with her parents Herbert Carter McKinney Sr, Mary Emily McKinney and her brother Herbert Carter McKinney Jr.
