My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Was blessed to have served Martha for almost 38 years (hairstyling needs)
She was a beautiful gentle soul always caring for her family and friends. Loved her dearly.
Martha, we had some good talks about life and you always gave me such good advises from personal issues to decorating homes to suggestions on Christmas gifts. You were always a mother figure to me.
You will be missed dearly. Rest In Peace until we meet again in heaven
Henry and Family, our thoughts are with you at this time of sadness.
Good afternoon Henry
Please accept my sincere condolences about your loss. I experienced the same issue in Dec of 2018 when Barb passed. Once things settle down you will begin a new routine of activities. Let’s keep in touch
Finest regards

My deepest condolences Uncle Henry, Gregory, and Michael. Thinking of you and wishing you healing in this time of loss.
Martha was my dearest Auntie and she held a special place in my heart. I grew up with her at my side in the days before she married Henry and she was there during my maturing years. We ate potato chips from a silver bowl while watching Saturday night movies. She allowed me to comb her hair in any style I could imagine. Martha took me to my first cinema movie to see the original ‘Mary Poppins’ in downtown Toronto. I cherished the thoughtful gifts she gave on birthdays and at Christmas. Martha was an exceptional baker and a meticulous cook who shared with me her passion for culinary excellence. She loved teaching me how to be a fashionable, classy and graceful young lady.
Martha made prayer part of her daily life. I pray for her soul and for her loving family during this difficult time. Due to this pandemic, we unfortunately cannot comfort one another in person to share our sorrow.
God bless Martha. God bless Henry and Greg who faithfully cared for her these last years to ensure Martha’s comfort and happiness. Thank you to Mike and Caroline for your commitment to Martha’s care while balancing your own family obligations and challenges. I’m so very sorry you have lost the amazing wife and mother who was my Auntie Martha. I send my love to you all in this time of loss.
My deepest condolences to you Uncle Henry, Michael, and Greg.
I am sorry that we could not come in person to offer our condolences and I am sorry that you all will not have as many people around you right now. But I remember how full your house was with family every time we came. All that family and more hold you, your boys, and Martha our thoughts.
We fondly remember aunt Martha’s generous, kind and loving spirit, expressed through her baking, We are so sorry for your loss.
I met Martha and Henry Koss for the first time at Caroline and Michael’s wedding. I had met Michael before when he came to Montreal for Christmas. I was very nervous to meet Michael’s parents, we sat in front of each other at the dinner table and got to know each other. It went well, the evening ended , we were outside saying our goodbuys when Caroline said to Martha and now you are my second mother. At that moment I knew that they liked each other.
The second time we met, Caroline was coming home from the hospital with baby Tyler and Martha and Henry came to see baby Tyler. They arrived with this big box of food that Martha had cooked and baked and we shared her delicious meal, together we talked as we did the dishes. She loved her grandkids so much.
The third time we met, we spent the afternoon talking about our families , her good friends and we were happy to spend time with see eachother once again.
When Caroline called me, she was saddened that the hospital sent Martha home and told them there was nothing they could do for her anymore and that she would pass away soon. Caroline is so saddened, she has lost her second mother but Martha is gone to meet God that she loved so much. Rest in peace Martha you have shown your kindness and love for all.
My condolences to Henry, Michael, Gregory, Caroline, Ryan, Tyler and her friends.
We will always remember her kindness and love.
