Jim and Chris just wanted to drop by and say how sad it was to hear of your Moms passing. Growing up I can remember going to your house and just walking in and feeling like a part of the family they were great times and your Mom always had an extra plate at the dinner table. Hope you are all doing well and drop me a note when the dust settles..Dan Long

Dear Rita & family,
So sorry to hear about your mom. I remember how happy she always seemed to be. Always a smile on her face. I have some very fond memories of the Mars family from my childhood ( sleep overs & watching the Red Skelton Show ). You are all in my prayers.

Chris, So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. (you may remember mine from DLS- she always marveled at the drawing you did of the B bldg door and never forgot you).There really are no great words of comfort at a time like this, so I won't even try. Please know you have always been in my thoughts, and now more so than ever.
