To Valerie, David and “Andy’ and the rest of the family, I’m so sorry to learn that your mother, and my long-time friend, Armyllis (Marty) has passed away. I had visited her at the Mennonite Home several times, but had to give up driving due to my decreasing eyesight. I did see her and Jack once a week, though, when my husband and I delivered Meals on Wheels to them before they moved to the “home”. She and I had so many good times together. She always had a smile and a cheerful disposition. I’ve been missing her for quite a while. She was a good Christian, and I know she is in the loving hads of Jesus now. I wish you all my very deep condolences.
