KAREN J. CORSI-SULLIVAN wrote a sympathy message

“Oh, how we adored Martha. We met her in the early 2000s at the airport and last saw her at Scarfallotto's. Every time we saw her, we knew a hug was coming our way. She would happily and proudly show us pictures of her children and grandchildren on her cell phone. She would chat and make us laugh. What a special lady. Your family was clearly blessed to have had such a loving woman in your midst. May God bless you all. Our family will say a special prayer for you and for Martha.”
