Mara Naomi Blank

I have endless memories of Mara's smile, her laugh, her beauty, her vivacious persona, her charm, her talent, her spunk & zest. She lives on in my mind because she was a girl that couldn't stay still for very long-- too many adventures to have! The world mourns a life cut so tragically short-- a ray of sunshine that we must go without. My thoughts are with you & your family at this time.

Phillip/Lillian: I was very sad to hear about Mara's passing. I remember a vivacious young girl with a beautiful smile. I am sure she will be missed by many. Joyce Lehrer (Columbia MD)

Mara,

I didn't know you but had heard so much about you from my uncle Ira Blank. We had the same name and your sister has my middle name. We also had some other things in common.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
