I read with dismay the obituary of your dear aunt last night in the Andover Townsman. Being a volunteer with the Andover Garden Club, I used to see and visit with Martha once a month. She was a real favorite of mine because of her infectious smile. I missed her last week when we were there never realizing that when we said goodby in January that was the final time. I miss her and will keep her in my prayers. She is a fantastic role model for you to remember always.
Please accept our sincerest thoughts, our most fervent prayers, and most deepest sympathy in the passing of your Auntie Martha Earley. We are her past neigbors accross the street on Columbus Avenue. Your Auntie Martha was a wonderful caring person with boundless energy for life. We had many interesting conversations on Columbus Avenue. We used to visit with her frequently at her new permanent home at the MIHCS. She loved to play the piano at the lobby entrance. She always had a very infectious bright smile for anyone that visited her. We will all miss her greatly but the consolation is she has gone to a more divine place and is happier because "there are no illnesses or even wheelchairs in Heaven !" Love & Peace be with you all, remembering all wonderful memories with your Auntie Martha as she lovingly touched your lives. Thankyou. Al & Marcy Richards & Family
God bless all who Martha touched in her life. I know she is smiling in Heaven. Martha was a big part of my childhood making many happy memories with my cousin Bill. Her care and concern for my Aunt Mary and Uncle Gene did not go unnoticed. She will remain in my heart forever. God Bless.
Martha was a wonderful and caring person. She was married to my mother's cousin Bill. I'll always remember Martha for the compassion and care she showed my mother's family. She worked in the office of my daughter's ear doctor. Her quick smile and friendly personality made our visits much more bearable. I often thought my daughter's frequent earaches were simply a ploy to visit Martha. Martha will sorely be missed by the Sheehan and English families. God Bless!
With loving memories of Martha from the Mahony family. Martha was my cousin Bills wife. I am the daughter of the late Anna (Sheehan) and Raymond English. I have many early memories of Martha and her dedication to her family. She was very good to my Aunt Mary and Uncle Gene...both siblings of my Grandfather. I will cherish her in my heart. God Bless.
We are grateful for having the opportunity to get to know Aunt Martha over these past years. She is the last of our elders and we find it difficult to realize how quickly time passes. Let us all remember the good times, and focus on keeping our family connected with love. Farewell, Aunt Martha! Give everyone a kiss and hug from us - especially Mom and Dad. We miss you all so very much.
