Sister Martha Kemper passed from this life on July 10, 2012.  Like Martha, the sister of Lazarus, our sister Martha made the great confession about the Lord Jesus: "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world" (John 11:27).  She will be greatly missed, but her family and the members of Creekview rejoice that she is in the comfort of God.
