As we mourn the tragic death of Martha Woods, Lafourche Parish Deputy, it is hard to think of the perfect words to say, the perfect thing to do to make this difficult time a little easier. There are no perfect words, but there is a silent strength in the friendship we had in knowing how much Martha loved our community and especially her devotion to our young people. Martha's friendship was a gift to all of us. With a kind word or a thoughtful gesture she brought happiness, with her smile she brought comfort to all. She was a gift to everyone who was lucky enough to have her call them "friend." Martha was a dear and devoted member and friend to the Lafourche Prevention Partnership. For many years she volunteered to perform the duties of SYNAR (reducing the sale of tobacco to minors) and other Partnership sponsored events because she believed in creating a healthy Lafourche. She was a kind and devoted deputy and community activist. We ask that you keep her family, friends, and co-workers in your prayers and thoughts. May God keep you in His Hands, Martha. Farewell, dear friend.

The good Lord made a new angel today,
I guess we needed a new star to light our way.
The events of the day are hard to believe,
Working through the day helped us to grieve.
The look on the faces of everyone,
Was one of pain, hurt and stun.
There is a hole in our "family" that will never completely mend,
To us you were a ray of sunshine, a mentor and friend.
Thank you for all the years of service,
We will miss your smile, laugh and voice.

Martha was a great friend of the Chackbay Fire Department and worked side by side with us on a daily basis. She always had a huge smile on her face and brought joy to your day. She will be sadly missed by each and every one of us. Her legacy of helping the people of this community will live on through those of us who's lives she touched.
