Martha’s Journey

Martha White, 83, of Colfax, Louisiana, departed this life on Saturday, November 18, 2018.  Being that the Lord has taken her sweet soul home to everlasting life; we rest in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding that she chose the path of righteousness before God. Her faith and belief in God was unshakable.  Her prayer life was solid.
