A LOVING TRIBUTE TO Sr.MARTHA
Death is nothing to all …
I have only slipped away to the next room…
I am I and you are you …
What ever we are to each other that we are still…
When tomorrow starts without me …
don’t think we’re for apart.
For every time you think of me I’m right there in your heart .
Yes dear sisters,
When God looked down and smiled at our dear Sr.Mary Martha from His golden throne and He said,”Today your life on earth is part but here life starts anew”.Obeying to her masters , she bid farewell to all of us.
Sr.Martha was born on 7th of January 1934 in a faith filled family at Mukkatukara, Kerala. She was the third child of Mr.M.D.VARTOTHANNY & Mrs. MERIAM and was matured by loving parents, brother and sisters. Answering to God’s call, she joined FSM family and made her first profession on 10.04.1959.
Her love for people drew her to chose a nursing career. After her first commitment,she loved her work, played a silent, powerful and an encouraging role to accomplish the task which was entrusted to her by her divine master.
Sr.Martha rendered her dedicated service to the people of Madhagondapalli, Mathigiri,Krishnagiri, Elathagiri, Yercaud,Salem,Thalakottukara,Bangalore ( Carmalaram). Indeed, it was a great plan of God that she should be bloomed in heaven in the same soil when she had started her religious joinery at Madhagondapalli.
At the time of the ailment, she was brought to Madhagondapalli for her medical care. By the continuous care and support of our sisters and staff, she was very happy and gradually progressing in her health. By her smiling nature, timely jokes and inspiring thoughts from her rich experiences added beauty and meaning to our fraternal life.
All of a sudden, she developed Epilepsy. She was admitted in St.Louis hospital at Krishnagiri. After few days treatment, she brought back to Lourdes hospital, Madhagondapalli and was cared well by our sisters,doctors and staff . Suddenly, on 20th of December, she found hard to breathe. Immediately, all the sisters, doctors, nuns struggled a grer to revive her life. There after prolonging for few hours, on 21st of December morning at 8.50 am, God gently called her to His eternal home and she silently went to rest in Jesus’s hand.
