To the Shachter family,
As part of the Shachter clan for 16 years, I have so many happy memories of the family, at picnics and Christmas holidays. I always enjoyed talking to Martha and was saddened to learn of her passing. The best part of being a Shachter was enjoying the family that came with it.

My sincerest condolences to everyone. May her memory help sustain you throughout the coming years.

Aunt Martha meant so much to all of us. I have missed and will miss our conversations about the goofiest things. She was always so excited when we talked. I know what it is like to lose your mother and my heart goes out to all of you.
