Oh, sweet Martha.  We had so much fun in the woodturning club and as one of my students. Always a smile and fun to kid around with.  Martha, you will be dearly missed. 
Love and hugs forever. 
I’m so glad that you are in God’s embrace.

My sincere condolences to Martha’s family. She was one of the kindest and most genuine souls I’ve ever known. I am so sad that she suffered and pray she is safe in God’s warm embrace. 

The world lost a good human being.

My condolences to Martha’s family.

As I think of Martha today, I am reminded of what Jesus said, “Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him.” (John 11:11) My friend Martha is asleep now but will soon be awakened in perfect health to a beautiful peaceful world. Until that time I will keep remembering all of her kindnesses to me. I will fondly remember her reminding me that I needed dogs (she sent photos of available dogs at PACC); and that her buddy Arthur should have a new truck. Sadly, I had to inform her that the truck thing did not happen but I did get a beautiful smile with that remark.

My deepest sympathies to Martha’s family. 
I was lucky to meet Martha at TEP and will always remember her kind heart and her sense of humor. She could always make me laugh until my stomach ached and I will miss our talks about puppies and martial arts. Rest easy Martha, you are truly missed.

My deepest condolences to Martha’s family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Martha while working at TEP. It’s not everyday you have a coworker that becomes your friend. Martha’s sarcastic sense of humor will never be forgotten. I’ll miss our El Sur lunches and I’ll miss our puppy talks even more.

Rest in peace Martha, you are greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies to Martha's family.  Martha's smile was ever present no matter what challenge she was facing.  I very much enjoyed working with her, she will be dearly missed.

My condolences to the Garcia family.

I met Martha at TEP and we had a great friendship.  She called me "travieso" and I lived up to that name.  Of course for the teasing part of our friendship she gave as good as she received.  We had many laughs.

One day she surprised me with her woodworking skills.  She made a sculpture of my name which I have at my work cube to this day.  It will be a fond reminder of our friendship.

Heaven gained an angel and I will always remember Martha, her care for animals and bringing me to volunteer to walk dogs at PACC.  She was a warm and affectionate friend that I will truly miss as we did work together on projects at work.  

RIP Martha... you are always remembered.

My deepest sympathies to Martha's family. Martha is truly missed. I loved working with her and loved her sarcastic sense of humor. I hope she is at peace now and resting easy.
Goodbye Martha.

I worked with Martha for about 15 years. The first few years were over email and phone. When we finally met in person, it was if we were long lost friends. She nicknamed me Trouble and I nicknamed her Chief. We had a great working relationship that blossomed into a friendship. We were suppose to go to lunch or dinner, next time I went to Tucson, but then COVID hit and travel stopped for a while. Then Martha got sick. I sure do miss her teasing and friendship. I too have a beautiful wood carving to remember her by. She will be greatly missed. I send my deepest sympathy and love to all of family and friends she leaves behind.

Martha is truly missed. I will always remember her quick and witty sense of humor. I would bring the most difficult questions to her and she was always able to help me find answers with a smile on her face.  She loved animals!  Sharing pictures of puppies together is what bonded us. Peace be with you sister.

Bye Martha, rest easy now. 

My best to George, his family and others left behind. 

I worked with Martha the past 16 years before she fell ill. Loved her sarcastic sense of humor, giving heart and woodworking talents 😊. I have several treasures that she made for me for regular reminders of our time together. You are missed my friend!

Heavy hearted,
Georgia

I offer my heartfelt condolences for your loss. May the love of those around you support you in the days ahead. Martha will be deeply missed; she was an incredible, intelligent, and dedicated coworker. Her creative talent in woodworking was exceptional. I wish peace and comfort to all who loved and cared for Martha during this difficult time.
