    I know Martha from Diversacare. She instantly became a friend. She would always greet me with a smile . She had a wonderful positive attitude. She was a faithful member of the Chair Yoga group that met every week. She had a great time each week singing the songs & worshiping the Lord through Chair Yoga Dance ?
    I truely love Martha and will miss her ❤️
