Jeff. We were saddened to hear of Martha's death. We still remember the morning when we had breakfast in Hampton, IA a few years ago. Two or three weeks ago we met the Flemings at Trout Lake Camp and they told us of Martha’s struggle with cancer. It breaks our heart to hear of her death. Because of Christ, Martha is now in the land of the living. Looking forward to seeing her again. Our prayers are with you. Steve and Sharon Anderson
