  1. I am sad to hear about the passing of Martha Veasey. I recently moved back to the area and had hoped to connect with her once I settled in. I told her many years ago how much I appreciated her numerous acts of kindness shown me in my youth. God bless you Martha and God rest your soul.
    Love,
    Thad-
