Sadly she passed away May 17,2008. Martha, I've watched your show and have gotten Matha Magazine for many years. I would like to know how you handle the heartache of losing your mother. I enjoyed the many times she joined you on the show. I am so hearbroken, we have both lost someone so dear to us. You seem so at ease with her passing, you've come to terms with the loss. But how?

First of all I wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm 23, married, and just had my first baby girl... and couldn't imagine life without her. Just about 2 years ago I lost my grandmother (who was an excellent cook by the way). I miss her so very much, and could never dream of going through what you have with your mother passing. I wrote this to tell you that you, Martha, and my grandmother Marian are the only two people I have ever admired so much for the courage you possess, the sweet presence that is brought when you enter a room, and for your amazing ability to cook so well!! I watch you all the time, and get so excited when I see you. I saw you on Conan O'Brien the other day and thought of you and your mother. I guess I just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you and your daughter and family too. I feel as if you're family to me, just like my grandma. We love you Martha, always. Sending this with Hugs, Christine Dear Martha,

Our Moms are more than we can ever put into words. It was very heart warming to see you and your Mom together on your program. I, too don't get to turn in due to my crazy schedule and just found out abour her crossing over. Being a Christian I know that your reunion in heaven will be a grand one. God Bless you and yours and you are such a role model for me Ms Stewart, thank you.

She truly was a special and amazing woman. I loved when you had her on your shows, and learned so much. She was just like part of my family, as well as part of many others' families. She will truly be missed. Take care, Nancy I was so, so sorry to hear about your wonderful mother. She truly was a special and amazing woman.

We want so much to change things and make them better.Gradually losing them makes us desperate to find ways to keep them.No longer are they able to be our everything. Their journey progresses and our hands separate.They have fulfilled their lifes' work.We no longer receive their approval or disapproval, their love or rejection.We re-examine our lives.Psalm 147:3 is one of my favorite verses. It's so simple,but so reflective of Jesus'compassion and his journey to fulfill his life' work.Watching your deep desire to give your mother her moments of fame revealed so much about you and your respect for her.Rest now,good daughter.

I wept. Your tribute to her was equally beautiful. I could barely read it through my tears. What a joy and source of strength she was. I admired her. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family.
