To this union, three children were born: Jesus, Saul Jr., and Perla. While raising their three children, Martha and Saul worked in the migrant fields in various states, and often their children would be working right alongside them. Martha's grandchildren and great grandchildren were her pride and joy. She loved spending time with all of them, creating long lasting memories.
