Martha Kostyra: A Tribute

Comments

[The Ross Family]

A special tribute for such a special woman. I didn't want it to end. It made me cry. Thank you (little) Martha for sharing your wonderful Mom with us for all of these years. What a gift.

I just watched the fantastic video tribute to big Martha. One of my late husband's favorite meals was meatloaf and I never learned to do it well until I tried the Meatloaf 101 recipe. It is perfect! Thanks, Big Martha.

I absolutely loved Big Martha's segments on the show. When she was on I sat down and listened! It was like watching my own Grandma on TV. When I watched the tribute to her I remember seeing every segment, and probably more than once. She must have had a wonderful life but I still have tears in my eyes and I will miss seeing her. What a great lady. Thank you Martha, for introducing us to and sharing your mother with us.

That was a wonderful tribute. Yes, it made me cry and miss my mother. However, I feel so happy inside for having watched a celebration of a truly remarkable woman. Thank you, producers, for doing such a class act.

Dear Martha and Family:

I will miss seeing your mom in your program. What a delightful person she seem to be. I enjoyed the segments where she was the teacher of one of her many special recipes, or told a story...always made it fun, and laughter was part of her trait.

I am sure you, your family and her friends will miss her very much, and to this I have to say that I am very sorry for her passing.

To a life well lived Big Martha! you have touched a lot of people, and many of us will miss you!

Beautifuly done. How gracious to think of sharing such cherished remembrances! May your times be warmed by these thoughts and by all who gather around you.
Regards.

Dear Martha: Every episode with you and Big Martha was a special treat for me. My mom was an alcoholic & my dad left when I was an infant. Your relationship with Mom was everything I wanted but didn't have. I'm 68 yrs. old now and never had a daughter, so I couldn't share what you had. Envy, YES, but JOY, too in seeing you 2 interact in such a fulfilling life!

God Bless.

What a wonderful glimpse into such an extraordinary life. She truly was a shining star. I was moved by what I watched not only because she was such a wonderful person but also because of the unique and honest relationship you shared with her. The genuine comfort and closeness of your relationship shows in every clip you had shown. She may not be here on Earth but she will always be in your heart and you have these amazing memories to smile about for the rest of your life. I hope you find peace in that in this very difficult time. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Martha,
I was so sad to hear of "Big Martha's" passing, what a lovely lady she was. No matter the age we hate to see them leave us, my Mom was 40 when she passed and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. She is with the Lord now and I am sure he is enjoying her meatloaf as well as gettng ideas on any decorating that heaven needs. I just hope my Mom is at the table with her enjoying this great meal. My prayers are with you and your family. You both made a great team and I will truly miss seeing her on your show.

I wanted to extend my sympathy to Martha and her family. Sorry for your loss. I also wanted to share that in 2004 I lost my Mother too and that one of our shared enjoyments was watching Martha together and we always looked forward to seeing Mom join in the show. I will never forget the laughter Martha and Mom gave to me and my Mother. Rest in peace.

[Karen Crabtree]

My family are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. We have enjoyed many episodes of Martha Stewart when your Mom was on with you. We would like to say we will be praying for you and your family.
