Guest Book

Ms. Martha was a Beautiful Lady full of energy and spunk. Me and My Husband fell in love with her instantly and she fell in love with us. She shared her cabbage/smoked neckbones recipe with me. She even made a pot for me to share with my New Hope Church Family during one of our Fellowship Dinners. Debra, Ms Maple and rest of the crew. Rejoice in knowing that she is resting with God now. You have plenty of Great Memories to hold on to. God Bless you all. Eunice & Norris Thompson
