To the family of Martha Wallingford, I was a caregiver for Martha. She was a very sweet and kind person. I liked so much spending time with her visiting about her family and the days gone by. I am thinking of you her family and pray that God will comfort and guide you through this difficult time. Martha will be greatly missed.
