Hold on to those precious memories as they will carry you through. Keeping you and your family uplifted in my prayers. Remember I am here for you if you need anything. ????

  8. CandleImageI have so many fond memories of my dear, Aunt Martha Kate, from childhood and beyond that it would be near to impossible to pick a favorite. She was always my biggest cheerleader..she believed in me, and always told me so. Martha Kate was one of the spiritual leaders in my life. Always willing to talk to me about my faith, even when my I was unsure, she was right there to help me renew my faith when those times were needed. Martha Kate was always a mainstay in my life and my Mothers and for that I will ever be thankful. She was probably the most wonderful woman I have ever known next to my own Mother. I loved her so much and will miss her terribly. But I am so happy that she has found peace with her mother and daddy and sister and brother!

  9. CandleImageMy memories of my aunt Marta Kate are endless. She was always a constant and comfort throughout my life. She will always be in my heart. I love you my dear Aunt. My condolences to my Mother and Father Nancy and John Webb, and her children Westy and Amy.
