Remembering Martha

When I think of Cousin Martha.... I remember her sweet smile, her kindness, her tender love for her son  and grandson.  She was too ill to attend this year's Carter Family Reunion.  Tomorrow her services will be held at the Holy Angels Catholic Church, 615 E. Oakwood Blvd. Chicago.  

She lived a rich full life.  In spite of trials and heartaches, she displayed such quiet grace and faith in God.   She converted and became a Catholic as an adult.  She will be missed.  I know that her brother, grandson, nieces, and cousins will celebrate her life tomorrow morning.  We will miss her.
