    Martha is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met in the Berkshires. She would open her home to anyone in need without hesitation. She didn’t judge, and I never saw her get angry despite many opportunities with neighborhood kids, including myself. She will be sorely missed, and thought of by many. I’m very sorry for your family’s loss, and while I don’t do the prayer thing I would like to paraphrase Aaron Freeman in saying that no energy gets created in the Universe, and none is destroyed. Not a bit of us is lost in death, we just become less orderly.

    Betsy, I wish I had the right words to say, but I don’t . Losing a parent isn’t easy. Know that she is watching you and walking pain free . She’ll always be with you every step of the way. Find comfort in all your precious memories. Always here for you. ♥️♥️
