Hope G. Martin – September 7, 1944 – July 25, 2007
I would like to take a moment and honor my mother, who passed away three years ago. Everyone grieves in different ways. For me, I go to her grave once a year, each July 25th. No other day in the year do I go. But every July 25th I go to Memphis Memorial Gardens on North Germantown Road, and pay my respects. It does not matter if it is rain or shine. It does not matter if it is on a Sunday when I will be preaching such as this year. This Sunday, I will get up at 4:00 A.M., drive to Memphis, pay my respects, and be teaching Sunday School in Henderson by 9:00 A.M. And I won’t be back till Monday, July 25, 2011. The picture above was taken in April of 1984.
