Mark, Terry, and family,

Today, I met with a past employee of DRT. During our conversation, she mentioned that Marty Fraze recently passed...I didn't know until today. Your mother was such a joy and a breath of fresh air. For the twenty years I knew her, she always laughed, was so very light hearted, smiled constantly, and found the bright side of everything. I know she's still smiling.

My best to all.
