Sister Martha was a beautiful woman. She walked in humility, and she had a caring heart. She walked in the similitude of Jesus. She never changed, no matter what was going on around her. She will be missed. To the Guillory family, be strong in the power of his might.
God looked around his garden- And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth- And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you -And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful -He always takes the best. Blessing to the Family Stephanie, Tamara and ALASIA Ducre
