    It took me a bit to respond. Martha Jo was such a precious lady. Tommy would come through Mobile, and we would go to Dick Russell's or O'Charley's, always so much fun. When I'd visit Brookhaven, we would all share a pot of gumbo and homemade bread. Loved going to church with them. Always great company, always so welcomed in their home. All of you are such a close net family and so incredibly sweet.
    Now Martha Jo can join her beloved husband and her son. Her salvation was obvious as she was a light to all that knew her. Her reservation was secure. May the Lord comfort each of you as you grieve. I'm thankful for each of you, she loved her family so much. We will all cherish our treasured memories and remember her genuine beautiful smile. God bless you all.
