My Good-bye,
Do not sorrow for me now, nor mourn me if you please. I’m going home! To be with God where I’ll have rest and ease. And though we now must part a while, we have done so before, and soon we’ll meet on Heaven’s shore. So share my joy, I’m going home. I’ve been away too long. If you want to please now, then sing a joyful song. Then if you wish we’ll meet again when you too can come home. We’ll spend eternity with God, where never more we’ll roam. For I know as Paul of old, I have fought well the fight. I have a mansion and a crown. They shine forever bright. And when you too have finished with your work down here below, you’ll join me there to praise and share the love of God, I know. Sing no sad songs then for me; no tears should flow this day, but songs of joy and praise to waft my soul upon it’s way. And if you’ve loved me in this life then you must love him too. And we shall share His promised joy where life begins anew.

We all will remember the loving warm memory of Martha, and the wonderful years we spent with her. Although we will miss her, we all know she always had a loving spot in her heart for everyone. Know that she is in a place where all is well.
