To The Martyr & Chilton Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy and thoughts at this sad time of your loss. I remember her well from growing up near some of the Chilton's on Sutter St. in Roseville and through my years of school and baseball in Roseville, and of course my many trips to Chilton & Martyr Variety Store. Such a nice lady she was, and may your fond memories of her sustain you through this difficult time and the years to come.
