First and foremost, Martha was my friend. And my confidant. She called me often to talk shop. And we chatted about policy matters and politics and how we could improve our state.
Every year on Sine Die, she would broadcast her show live from my office at the Capitol. What an honor it was to have her in room 245.
She truly loved this State and she loved me. What a giant of a woman we have lost. I am better for having known her.
May God bless her family and may He walk with them through this time of grief and mourning.
Until we meet again, my friend.
