Vanessa and Family, Myname is Paulette Robinson.You probably don't remember me but we attended Mary H. Wright together.I remember when you first came into Mr and Mrs Martin's life. You were their pride and joy. I use to sit behind you in class and pull your ponytail ((smile). I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs Martin was a very sweet and soft spoken lady as I remember her. I can sympathize with you as I lost my mother last year also. Keep the Faith as God does not make mistakes. As time passes things will once again be bright as they once were because that is the way I am sure your mom would want it to be.God bless you all.
