Enjoyed visiting with Martha years ago when we all attended music parties in people’s homes. I thought she was a pretty woman and loved the way she dressed. Noble and Donna Fox Newberry, I’m daughter of Melvin and Alfa Fox

Oh Lesa, Lance, Aaron and families. I’m so very sorry to see this news. Your mother and father made such a huge impression on me all those years ago. I have thought of them many many times and hoped they were well and happy. I knew that Vic had passed years ago and hope that your mom had many wonderful years left. I pray you all will find peace. Much love and prayers for you all.
