Brianna & David I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you in your time of need. I send to you the Lord’s Prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen

Carol Martin was a great women. She was a
major Influence in my life. She gave me one of my first jobs at Lets Celebrate again and taught me piano. She was a great leader and inspired me through her passion for music. I believe that she is a big reason for my success today. I last saw her as a teen almost 10 years ago and to this day remember her beautiful smile and continually positive outlook in life. I wish I could thank her for everything she has done for me. As a friend she encouraged me. As a student she taught me and as a singer and musician she inspired me. I was hired at the top dance studio In the nation in the beginning of 2014 and as I decorated for a party our company was throwing I reflected back to Ms. Martins opening day at lets celebrate. I thought of how clear and sunny the sky was and happy she was. Many years later now I realize just how valuable our time spent together was. What a great women and motivating person. God bless

Dear Bob and Family,
I was so sorry to read about Carole. I had the privilege of being one of her psychology instructors at Terra. Carole was an absolute delight to have in class. Smart, witty, hard-working, and that infectious smile will be missed.
I thought of her every time I went past the store. Now a “do-do-do-do” moment, this past Saturday I drove by and wondered how she was doing.
It was heart-warming to read that Carole continued pursuing her dream and was working in the field she had dedicated massive amounts time and effort for.
She was an Angel on Earth — a true “Earth Angel.”
I’ll be keeping you in thoughts and prayers.
