    EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
    Martha Arave is a beloved music teacher who has taught piano lessons for years. She currently has nearly 30 students and is someone who does a lot for the community. She volunteers, is always willing to help and loves to serve others.
    Martha's husband, Steven, has been battling cancer for years and his health recently took a turn for the worse. He passed away Saturday at the age of 46 leaving Martha and and their daughter behind.
    Mat and Savanna Shaw, the singing daddy-daughter duo, were in Idaho Falls this week and we decided to invite them to surprise Martha with a special song for Feel Good Friday. Check out the unforgettable visit in the video player above!

    This lady has so much grace and I don't know how she kept her composure so well, I was crying right at the opening notes of the piano.

      Father and daughters magnify each other's purity and goodness and love ❤️ to a lovely lady "Martha" who is mourning for her husband. She received them with such graciousness. Heavenly angels certainly joined in with Matt and Savannah to make this an even more wondrously touching of hearts 💕 💞 ❤.
      May we all give to one who needs to be lifted and acknowledged so as they may know that they are not alone.
      Martha is blessed to have her parents to give her an ever special type of comfort.

    Mat & Savanna are the greatest! I bawled listening to them sing in her parents home as I have every time I hear them! The first time I saw their video singing the Prayer during the pandemic I cried like a baby! I was missing my “life” as I knew it, missing visiting and hugging my grandchildren, going to church, into public at all! Mat and Savanna’s music helped so many people during that time. I pray this lady finds the peace from their visit and their music as so many others have! Prayers for peace and comfort for her and her family during this time! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
