  1. My Aunt Martha was a huge influence on my life. I was always excited to visit Leflore and see my Aunt Martha. I knew I was loved. Her generosity always impressed me. Her loving heart was an inspiration to me. Her work ethic was beyond compare. She taught me many things about the importance of family, honor, pride, honesty and love. There was always. I will miss Aunt Martha dearly. I know her sisters and her brother were waiting for her-her Momma and Daddy too! I take solace and comfort knowing Martha is no longer suffering and for that, I am eternally grateful. We grieve our loss, but I know, deep in my soul that Martha has been welcomed home. She rests in God’s divine arms.
    I Love you Martha! Renee’
