May Martha's memory be always eternal!
May God grant her peace.
She was a kind, gentle soul.
We miss you, Martha!

We knew that her health had taken a recent downturn, and many of us were keeping her in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts.

May God grant Martha rest with the saints and forgiveness of sins.
Rest eternal grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

+Memory Eternal!
I have known Martha for about 3.5 years, only by correspondence. We never met in real life, but, after having met virtually on an Orthodox forum, we kept exchanging news and messages regularly.
She was a beautiful soul. (Or should I perhaps say "is," because the soul does not die...) May the Lord receive her into His loving embrace and may He rest Martha with His saints.

All the saints in heaven welcome her and the angelic hosts accompany her to the place of eternal bliss. Gospode pomiluj! Kyrie eleison! (Jesus told Martha): I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. |

Excellence of character, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it. Now it is a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect.

Come to meet her, angels of the Lord.
Receive her soul and present her to God the Most High.
May the Lord grant her eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace.
O Lord, hear our prayer and let my cry come unto thee.
Domine miserere- O Lord, have mercy.
This is very sad news. It really is and I'll admit it made me weep.
