To the family of Mark Karas: I am shocked and saddened by the news of Mark's passing. I can't imagine the sorrow you all must feel. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. When I was a little girl, my mom would take me to Bubba and Jedda's on Church Way while she was working at the railroad in Mingo Jct., OH. I have such wonderful memories of those visits with Tata Babe and cousin Mark. I thought Mark's toys were the best; I loved playing army with him - it was so much fun - throwing grenades over the back of the couch!! I never thought of him being grown up until I saw him coaching little league baseball - he loved baseball. It is hard to find words of comfort at a time like this; but my favorites are "absent from the world, present with the LORD". I'm sure Tata Babe was there waiting to welcome her son to his heavenly home. That is the picture I want to keep in my heart and mind. God bless you. All my love, Terry Karas With deepest sympathy from my family Dan Ault, Sr.; my son Anthony Lombardi; and my mother Erma Lucero. Lucero
