Martha was my Jr. Ranger Sub-froman at Moose Lake Jr Ranger camp 28 years ago. That summer Martha and I became quick friends. I have often looked for Martha by googling/Facebook. I was deeply saddened to read of her untimely passing. <br />I am convinced if Martha and I met up today we would pick up just exactly where we left off. <br />My heart ached when I read this post and I wept openly. I am sad about the loss of my friend and also so proud of the wonderful person that she continued to be. <br />I thank you for letting me know exactly where my friend Martha Ham is today and no doubt she is lookinig down on all of us.<br />Kate Clarke<br />Kirkland Lake, OntarioKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547241510159024128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987215082892062873.post-22434496407763972092012-12-28T18:20:41.775-08:002012-12-28T18:20:41.775-08:00Reidi,

I just learned about her passing from the Bishop's Magazine I received in the mail today. Without any details, I "googled" her and found your blog entry. My heart aches. She was so full of life and was a true life-long learner. We shared many laughs and academic struggles, but she always had a smile on her face. May she rest in peace.<br />Liane BrabantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987215082892062873.post-8629440609680285062012-10-08T04:17:27.400-07:002012-10-08T04:17:27.400-07:00Gorgeous post Reidi We were there and I couldn'...Gorgeous post Reidi We were there and I couldn't even come close to telling the details. I thank you and know we are still all trying to moving on and yet as you say "un-Buddhistly" not wanting to let go. Performing the ceremonies with my class each week has really helped me. We will light more butter lamps on Thursday and I was contacted yesterday by a friend in Bartsham who will add her name to the list that goes to the Dali Lama himself for prayers. An honour indeed but we still have a lot of healing to do all of us and most especially her brothersVicky and Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437349436643286817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987215082892062873.post-2532081128143638182012-10-08T03:47:07.312-07:002012-10-08T03:47:07.312-07:00Reidi,

Although it's been a few weeks now, I think about her death every day and I still feel like it's not real. <br /><br />Thank you for describing the ceremony because I wish that I would had been informed that they were going to cremate her body because I would have definitely attended:-(. May Martha rest in peace.<br /><br />Take care and stay strong. See you in a few weeks. Love ya!Sabrina in Bhutanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550613963916246569noreply@blogger.com
