Pets truly become part of your family, and it is always difficult to let them go. Sorry for the loss of your loved one.

Everybody lives on with the cherished memories we hold. I was just telling somebody yesterday your father's WWII/Jack Cassidy story that you were kind enough to share with me 45 years ago at Memorial.

I had not realized that Marvin Kitman had passed away. He lives on as an inspiration to your writing, as well as his son's, Jamie. Jamie Kitman is a highly respected automotive journalist.

Thank you and Ellen for sharing this with us.

We’re also a multi-cat family and I’ve had a deep and abiding connection with cats all my life. May Taeko and all who love her be held in great compassion. May all humans and cats live together happily.

You did her proud, Mark. Would that all four-legged companions were as loved and eulogized.
