Always loved to see your mom. Our sincerest condolences!
Pauline and I wish to extend our sympathies to all the family. We are sorry for your loss. We know Martha Ann will be missed. We probably won’t make it to the funeral service but you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
We send our deepest sympathy to the Saur family. Martha Ann was always there for others, especially for my grandmother and Aunt Bernie. She was more like a sister to Aunt Bernie than a cousin. Martha Ann will be greatly missed. Her and Lilly Mae are together again, safe in the arms of Jesus. May these thoughts give you deep comfort in your times of sadness. Our prayer are with you, The family of Marvin and Linda (Jonas) Mullen
