Dave,
So sorry to hear of Aunt Martha's passing. I have many fond memories of time I spent visiting Aunt Martha and Uncle Bill when I lived in Yankton. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the graveside services. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

To the loved ones of Martha Jenner, we would like to express our deepest sympathy. We just knew Martha a short time --- but loved her right from the start. We started a church service in August on Sunday mornings for the residents of Kearney County Health Services. Martha enjoyed them very much. She would set by the piano and I would help her turn the pages for the songs on her bulletin. She never sang with us --- but always followed along with the words. When the service was over --- she always wanted to keep her bulletins. When we'd roll her back to her room - she always took pride in showing us her pictures of her loved ones. She will be missed at those Sunday morning services at the Senior Gospel Hour.

David and family,
My sympathies in the loss of Martha. She was such a sweet and gentle lady. We shared many cups of coffee around the kitchen table and talked the time away on many a afternoon. Although I have missed visiting her since here move to Nebraska, I"m so pleased she could be closer to her family. She always had such a welcoming smile for me. I miss that.

I used to wait on your Mom (and Dad) at the drive-up window when she was a customer at Valley State Bank. She was such a lovely lady. My sympathies to you and your family.

I was Martha's Hospice volunteer here in Minden for many months and became very fond of that dear ladyl We had many visits and she especially liked when I would wheel her out by the piano and play familiar hymns for her or the 'old school songs'. She would smile tap her fingers on her lap and just enjoy!!! She was a Grand Lady and waited patiently for 'her time' to join her husband. God Bless her memory!!!!
