Martha Gene was a dear friend and shining example of a true Christian woman who touched the lives of so so many people around her!
She touched me with her prayers, love and example. Our loss is truly Heavens gain!
May God bless the family.

Martha Gene was the sweetest Christian lady! Her sincere concern for others was evident every time I talked with her over the 45 or so years I had the privilege of knowing her. Her smile reached her whole face, and I loved looking into her serene eyes - they reflected the love of Christ.
