So sorry for your loss. I just loved Ms. Martha. It was never a dull moment working with her. She was an amazing lady, cook and assistant. She made killer greenbeans and always saved me the onion. She touched so many lives, and will be GREATLY missed.

I am sorry for the loss of your Martha! Oooh the stories from Head Start I could share about her are endless!! Some wouldn't be appropriate to share here but oooh she was so fun to work with!! She was the cook when I worked with her there and I will always remember her so fondly 💜 RIP

Hated to hear of Martha’s passing. So many memories of Martha and Phil from our time on D Dock. They both were warm and welcoming from day one of us becoming a part of the Planet D Dock family. I can just picture Martha and Phil once again together kicking butt playing euchre up there in heaven. Amber and Nicole your mom and dad were special and we loved that we had the honor of knowing them both. ❤️

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
