Our Nathan and Nedra were almost exactly the same age. Nathan is in California now, but often asked how Martha was doing, and will be sad to hear she’s passed. Bethany and Luke wish they could have told Martha about our new baby bunny. Martha always sent cards, and she enjoyed getting our Christmas cards with pictures of our bunnies and family. When we visited, Martha always said she was achy. Now she’s in heaven, and will never have any more pain.
