Frances & Ted,
We are so sorry to hear about John, but at the same time so very happy to know he is well now with no more suffering.
I am so happy I got to visit with John after Mother's passing. He and I talked about this day and how she, Jan, and many other loved ones would be there to greet him.
How comforting it is to know this.
Our love and prayers are with you and your family.

Frances and Family,
It is so very hard to put into words how the life of John Martin touched our lives. His love for you, his children and their children was as evident as his love for His Maker. We thank our Lord for the memories we will carry in our hearts of him. Thank you for adding to his life the joy of being your husband and the father of two wonderful children. Leroy and I cherished his friendship through the years and will continue to love you and pray for you and your family.##imported-begin##Peggy Worsham##imported-end##
