  The video was a beautiful tribute to Martha's life. She was such a kind, caring, and lovely person. We were blessed to have known Martha and Fleet.

  Michelle & Mike, my heart breaks for both of you. Your Mother was a very special and sweet lady. She was definitely an encourager.
  I once heard it said ‘my mother taught me everything I needed to know, except how to live without her’. My Mother passed away in December of 2010 and I learn everyday how true that statement is. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish I could ask her something or tell her something.
  My advice to each of you is to always remember how much Martha loved each of you. And, if you feel like crying go ahead and cry. Don’t try holding it back or being strong for each other because it doesn’t really help anybody. There are still days that I want to cry because I miss my Mother so much.
  I know your Mom and Dad would tell each of you to take care of each other and yourselves and live your lives. They are both watching over you and they loved you both.

  Michelle and Mike, we are so very sorry for the loss of your precious Mother. David and I count ourselves most blessed for having known Mrs. Martha and Mr. Fleet and loving them and being loved by them. We shall miss and grieve for Mrs. Martha but at the same time rejoice because we know she is with our Lord and Savior in Heaven. We shall never forget Mrs. Martha and the Godly woman she was. What a monumental legacy she leaves behind. We shall be praying for you Michelle and Mike, and for her family and friends. God bless, we love you! David and Janice Douglas

  Mrs Martha was so so special to me…the minute I met her so many years ago. I will never forget her and all the birthday cards I received over the years. Lots of long talks. Prayers for you Michelle and Michael I love y’all as I did your sweet mama. I am sorry I couldn’t make it to Brookhaven today. God bless you all.

  I remember Mrs. Martha & Mr. Fleet so vividly from Early Brookhaven Academy days! They were a handsome couple and so highly regarded. I’m sorry to learn of your loss and send my prayers for your family’s comfort & peace at this time.

  My heart tonight is broken for this sweet family and all that they have gone through in their lifetime. Since I was a little girl, I always felt Miss Martha’s love and Godly prescience every time I was around her. I knew as I grew into adulthood that she still would always speak to me anywhere she saw me…even after I had long graduated from high school and she could have been somewhat distant. But when I think of Miss Martha Lofton, I think of a lady who lived her eulogy every single day. She was who she was and she never left a conversation without telling you she loved you. I knew she loved me and I knew she meant every word she said. She had to endure pain and suffering on a level that most people will never understand; But she did it with grace and humility and the heart of a champion. I will cry tomorrow because I will miss Miss Martha, but rejoice in knowing she is in the prescience of her Savior. If there were more people in this world like Miss Martha Lofton, there would be no need for nerve medicine. Her doctor was Jesus, and her medicine was her Bible. God bless the life of one of His most special SAINTS, and may we all try to be more like her. For the life and legacy of Miss Martha Cato Lofton, I say thank you. She was without a doubt, the absolute very best. —-All my love, Amanda Byrd Rawls

  When you scroll through these comments, there’s no need to say anything at all. Miss Martha lived her eulogy every single day. If there were more people in this world like Martha Lofton there would probably be no need for any psychiatric doctors. She not only could touch your heart with her words, but you also knew when she said something she truly meant it. I will always remember her smile and the way she never left a conversation without telling me she loved me. I hurt so deeply tonight when I say I will miss her, but my heart is thankful she is in Heaven tonight with Mr. Fleet and Russ Michael. Next to my own mother, she was the sweetest most humble Christian lady I have ever known, and I can’t wait to see her again one day. God bless all her precious sweet family tonight and those most dear to her heart. I feel honored and humbled to have known such a great lady. She was an angel on this earth and will forever live on in my heart. Love you all. —Amanda Rawls

  I loved Mrs. Martha for so many reasons. First of all because she loved me. She loved my family. She loved Brookhaven Academy. She loved KDMC. But most of all because she loved Jesus and she was a living testament of the difference we could make in the lives of the most ordinary human here in Lincoln County. She cared. She wanted to make a difference. I love her for that. She was one special,lady.

  I would love to say how sorry for your loss, but I know that Martha is smiling as she always did. She is hugging everybody she sees in Heaven. She was missing her Fleet, her Russ Michael, her mom and dad and so many others. She was ready to spend time with all of them. God bless each of you.

  Words cannot express the loss we feel in losing our mother. She was strong, loving, and caring of all who came in contact with her. She never met a stranger she will be sorely missed. Prayers for comfort, peace, strength, and understanding in the coming days.
