Miss Martha was a wonderful lady. I have such great memories of her from my years as a teacher at LCHS. There was never a more avid Falcon fan than her. She will definitely be missed by this community, family and friends! May God comfort your family in your loss.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry helped make our years in Lincoln County some of the best of our lives. She was indeed a blessing to the county and all Falcons, and a special adopted gran for our boys. Fly high!

Mrs. Martha was a huge part of my childhood. Her granddaughter Jennifer would come to my house to play when she came to spend time with them. She was a very special lady!
