That made me cry a bit. That was my Grandpa Martin’s favorite song, too. Or one of them. He died 8/15/2005.
@repressedwriter - ok…I need to play the “Mennonite game” with you for a second. Being from a Martin background myself (Yes I know common name in the area) I have to ask your grandpa’s first name.
@Kristenmomof3 - Edwin Noah Martin. He was married to….um, it’s my husband’s grandpa, but I loved him more than my own. So, now I am drawing a blank. Maybe Emma or Elizabeth. Lived in Terre Hill his entire adult life. Had nine children, oldest my mom-in-law Esther. Sound familiar at all?
@repressedwriter - tell them you are talking to Hannah (Wise) Martin’s grandchild. Wayne Getz Martin was her husband. They have lived along the 322 in Hinkletown for Years and Years
@repressedwriter - Yep. Emma Good was her name. She died quite awhile ago. So…how does your grandma know us?
@repressedwriter - I will talk to you later. Time to get the children off the bus. This was fun
@Kristenmomof3 - @repressedwriter - Oh, my mil knows who you mean! One of my fil’s sisters is married to Raymond Wise Jr.
@repressedwriter - from way back…Emma Good and Martha Good They were young people together.
@Kristenmomof3 - Ok. My mom-in-law says what a small world. We’ll definitely have to meet now. We are almost related!
Awww that made me cry. What a heartfelt song and tribute..so sweet. that song was so fitting and those pictures so dear. Iloved the ones with papa and the kids and then heaven at the end.
Tried to call you but you mustve been driving. Just checking in up see how you all are holding up.
And what’s this? You found a new relation? Praise the good Lord. Cool
