Although I didn't know Martha well, I admired her from afar. She really impressed me when she told me that she led nature hikes. Of course, I knew her best through CVGMS. She was always a supportive and enthusiastic member. One of her largest contributions to the club was organizing and running the Snack Bar at our yearly Gem Show. She will be missed. My heart goes out to her family.
I first met Martha during her Berkeley days and always stayed in touch however we became much closer during her mother's last years. I was devastated learning of her cancer and we talked often. She was an amazing and wonderful woman and it is tragic to lose her so young.Talented as an architect and kind beyond measure she is missed. Richard, Basil and family are in my prayers.
Martha was one of my Tai Chi Chih buddies. I loved her gentle, wise nature. She was an amazing storyteller. She could describe unbelievably harrowing circumstances with a dispassionate, wry calmness that made allowed us to laugh at discomfort rather than despair. The world has lost a truly noble soul.
Martha was a Tia Chi Chih buddy and a member of our Care Givers Support Group. During her chemo treatment I drove her to Tai Chi when she felt strong enough to participate. She never complained and was concerned about her husband and son when the chemo wasn't working. She had a kind & gentle spirit and a lovely smile. She will be missed. My condolences to Richard & Basil and her family
Martha was already a member of our tai chi group when we met, and she was always friendly, kind, and gentle with everyone. Her illness came as a shock because she seemed so robust and active. She accepted all the chemo and spoke candidly about what she was going through, still somewhat hopeful though wary. She was a fine human being, and will be remembered with love by so many.
