The Martha

Sad News! Stephen just sent us all this in an email...

This is from today's Ledger-Enquirer. I'm assuming it IS "The Martha".

Easing the pain

My sister, Martha Kobs Hays, passed away July 4, and this is to thank those who took such good care of her when she could no longer care for herself.

Martha had to be put into Fountain City Care and Rehab Center, to my dismay, but all I ever saw were wonderful people who loved those under their care. Although everyone was very conscientious and loving, there was one CNA who had an immediate rapport with Martha. Judy could get her to eat when no one else could, and she was the one the other CNAs depended on when it came to my sister's welfare. The last words my sister spoke were to this woman who took such good care of Martha as if she were her mother. Words fail me as to how much I appreciate what she did.

I also want to thank Dr. Glenn Fussel who for a time was Martha's physician and who recommended Vista Care.I knew nothing about them, but now I can say in all honesty that they were very caring and never missed an appointment with her and they were there the moment they were informed of Martha's passing.

Martha's body was donated to science, and I also want to thank the Anatomy Gifts Registry for their rapid response in taking care of last-minute paperwork.

I felt that I should pass this on since you now have connections with "The Martha". I had heard rumors that she had died a few years ago, but I guess this proves those wrong.

Who knew she had a sister?! Not me!

I sure am glad that nice people took care of her until the end. Dear Judy must have really been a saint!

I wonder what scientific discoveries will be made using her body?!

Good Ole Martha! Though she is gone, memories of her shall live on forever!!
