SisterTheresa Martin has been a blessed force in my life throughout the 58 years I have known her. We first met in Las Vegas,Nevada -- the town that never sleeps -- in 1959. She loved being there and bubbled with her perennially optimistic outlook on life. She was always witty, wise, and loving to everyone she ever met. Where ever she was , she never failed to send Christmas and birthday cards. We are all so fortunate to have had her friendship in our lives. I will miss her.
