Martha and I roller skated together at Dixie’s in Bloomsburg when we were kids. We reconnected over Facebook and I was always encouraged by her posts and love for the Lord. I think of her being reunited with Jennifer and the joy she now has in the presence of Jesus.

I was a coworker of Martha Strobel at Hope Enterprises for several years. She also was a Program Specialist for my ID son, Guy. It was through Martha that I met and became friends with her dear sister Judie. She will be sorely missed. Prayer for family on her homegoing.
