NANNIE (MAMA) LOUISE (EATON) MARTIN
Papa and God saw that you were getting tired. So God put his arms around you and whispered "Come home to me" Papa is waiting for you. With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer and see you fade away. Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, you were at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the best. You could not go on with out the man you loved for more than 70 years.
