Mary & Fritz were ALWAYS there. So many times they would have words of encouragement and support during my time of 'growing up'. Fritz wrote a special tribute to my Mom when she passed. I didn't know how much she had meant to both of them. I am a better person for having known them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you go through this difficult time.

Lori, I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. This is not the way that I would have preferred to get back in touch with you after college. My Mom is gone now too. If you ever want to talk or need a shoulder to cry on, please give me a call.

Lori and Family - I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mom and dad. Mary and Fritz were such an important part of my life during the girl-scouting years and a loving 'mom and dad' to so many of us. They will always be in my heart. My prayers are with you.
