Phyllis Martin (nee Weldon) passed away peacefully on July 10, 2016. Loving wife to the late Herbert Martin. Dear mother to Bernard Martin, Kevin Martin, Cheryl Rickard, Herbert Martin, Stephanie Dunham, Jobie Rickard Jr. and Step Read Obituary
To Bernard, Kevin, Cheryl and Herbie,
My heart is filled with sadness at this time, and I send you my deepest condolences. It is times like this that bring the family closer together. There is no way for the pain to go away when a loved one is lost and goes home to be with God. If there is anything I can do to help the family please let me know. When I lost my parents I had to keep them and the memories of them in my heart. Every day that goes by I think of my parents and I can still feel the love they had for me. I know that your mother is still looking down on you.

To Cheryl, Herbie, Kevin and the rest of the Martin Family:
We were deeply saddened to hear of your mother's passing. Our hearts go out to you all.
I had the privilege of going on an Ethnic Expressions cruise with your mom, and have many great memories of her. She was a great conversationalist, and it was a treat to talk with her everyday about what was going on in the world. Whenever I think of her, I think of a picture by one of our artists called "Beautiful Soul". Your mother was a very unique woman who radiated radiated love and humility to all. She was as we say down South, "no respecter of persons". Everyone was the same to her and she treated everyone as a fellow human being that was worthy of her love and respect. Her countenance was warm, friendly and loving. Her smiles were warm, friendly and loving... and her handshakes and hugs were warm, friendly and loving. That's how I will always remember her.
I've heard it said that this world will be better because you were in it, or because you left it. I'm a living witness that this world is a better place because of your mom's sojourn in this earthly plane. She will truly be missed by all who knew her.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time in your lives.
Brian and Carrie Johnson
DEAR MARTIN FAMILY,
SIS MARTIN, WAS ALWAYS SO LOVING AND ENCOURAGING. I WILL MISS OUR CONVERSATIONS, ABOUT HER EARLY YEARS SERVING JEHOVAH. EVERYONE WHO KNEW HER KNEW THAT SHE LOVED JEHOVAH AND HER FAMILY.

OUR MANY,MANY CONVERSATION WHERE ABOUT YOU, AND MY CHILDREN OF COURSE AND HER LOVE FOR JEHOVAH. RONDA, MY DAUGHTER WAS LIKE ANOTHER DAUTHER TO HER AND WE BOTH LOVED YOUR MOTHER SO MUCH JUST AS YOU DID. THE TIMES I SPENT WITH HER IS TIMES I WILL CHERISH ALWAYS.
YOUR MOTHER TAUGH ME HOW TO APPRECIATE STUDING GODS WORD WHICH SHE LIVED BY. NO GUESTION. AND NO EXCEPTION.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER ON ONE STUDY WE WHERE HAVING AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BREAKING GOD'S LAWS. SHE SAID "JEHAVOH WILL SEND HIS ANGLES TO PROTECT US AS LONG AS WE DO THE RIGHT THING. (EXAMPLE). BUT IF THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 AND YOU ARE DRIVING 60 THE ANGLES WILL JUMP OFF AT 55 AND YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN BECAUSE YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LAW. (SMILE) SHE WILL FOREVER BE WITH ME. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PERSON YOUR MOM WAS TO YOU CHILDREN AND ALL
OTHERS THAT HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING HER.
JEHOVAH WAS FOREVER ON HER MIND AND IN HER HEART.HE NOW WHOLE
HER SPRIT CLOSE TO HIM, PROTECTING THAT SPECIAL GIFT HE GAVE US ALL
UNTIL THE TIME HE WILL WAKE HER UP TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
MAY HE ALSO KEEP YOU ALL NEAR HIM AND SAFE GAURD YOU IN THIS TIME AND IN THE DAYS TO COME.
