June, Ken and families,

I am so sorry for your loss…I loved Aunty Martha too. She was an individual that could get along in any situation and with a sense of humor! I know that she is in a happy place right now and reunited with your Dad.

My condolences, Patsy

Martha Kuresh: the youngest and most beautiful mom in the neighbourhood. How glad I am that you were such an important person in my life!

Thanks for the many servings of spaghetti, for introducing me to garlic and spices, for gentle hugs when my feelings were hurt, and for encouragement when I was frightened.

Thanks for loving my whole family as if it was your own: you were so very special to all the B-B-Beatty’s on B street. With love always, Patty

I remember Martha’s joie de vivre! She laughed, sang and cooked her way into our family back in Calgary when I was a teenager. I remember her lovely long nails, spagetti sauce extrodinaire and fantastic sense of humour. Rest in peace Mar!
