Facebook Twitter GoogleCouldn’t believe Martha showed up in Wesley Manor a year or so ago. That’s been my home for many years. I lived at 751 E. South Street growing up and my north/south alley intersected her east west alley so we were catty-corner alley neighbors. Her sister Mary graduated from Frankfort High School in 1941 – I graduated in 1943 – and Martha graduated in 1945, I knew her husband Bob Gee well. He graduated in 1942. So we all grew up about the same time in close proximity. I saw her in the manor several times but none recently – I had no idea she was in hospice. I’m sorry she didn’t live longer. It was always a pleasure to see her and talk about are past – RIP

Facebook Twitter GoogleBarb and Family, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for sharing your Mother with me. In the short time that I was Martha’s personal driver I learned a lot about Frankfort’s history, sports figures of today and yesteryear and the undying human spirit that your mother possessed. I will miss her as I know you all will. Take care and God Bless.
