I walked by Martha Jane’s plot and it was so beautiful. Someone really put in time to clean off the dirt and moss, and add beauty to her resting place. It was long overdue. As I did more investigating, I found out that it was Arnie Moralez. He put heart and soul into not just Martha Jane Sands’ resting place, but many others as well. Huge gratitude sent to Arnie.
