I am so sorry for your loss. She was a very patient women and taught me to sew and went out of her way to give me rides to 4H which might see small but meant the world to me. I will keep your family in prayers.
Prayers for you Vicki
Bill and Bea McMartin bought my parents farm in 1961 after they bought my grandfather’s farm. I heard my parents repeat so many times that they could not have sold to nicer people. I got to spend some time with Bea in the last couple of years and this world is a poorer place without Bea and Bill McMartin, God bless them.
Vicki,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a kind and generous woman. I remember when I lived next door to your family and she would call me and tell me she had just made fresh doughnuts. Your mom made the BEST raised doughnuts. She will be missed.
Vicki,
So sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you.
“B’s” smile would go for miles no matter how much pain she was suffering. She was a very kind and caring person to all. She will be truly misses.
