I didn’t know until Martha had passed on that she was doing a little charitable thing. Anne who does my dental cleaning brought it to my attention. She called on the phone and told me that Martha was collecting cards and donating them to the Wesley Willows gift shop for to sell. These included birthday, anniversary, and holiday cards. When she found boxes of the cards on sale she would buy them and donate them. They would be sold as individuals by the gift store. Profits from the gift store go into a fund to help residents of Wesley Willows’ that have fallen on tough times.
Anne who also did Martha’s teeth was aware of this and she and her husband were doing the same thing for the retirement home where her mother lived. When her mother passed away, she called me and ask if i would be interested in giving what they had collected to the Wesley Willows gift store. This was when I found out what Martha had been up to. I told Anne to come on out and I would by her lunch.
She accepted and came out here. That was when she got a great surprise. She could not believe the quality of the food service at the bistro here at the willows. I guess we are all intitled to surprises. We still continue this in Martha’s honor.
