In May, my parents passed away 26 hours apart. Through the generosity of numerous people, we made financial donations to the Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis Societies.

We continued to receive donations and decided that to help remember my parents in the future, we would obtain permission from Mars Baseball to plant trees in their names at the new Marburger field in Callery. Thanks to countless hours of work from Jim Kelly, Jay Fitzpatrick, Carole Kelly, Bill Trapp and Sherrie Grosso, the "concept" became a reality with the planting of three trees and numerous flowers.

It is a great addition to what will become a centerpiece to Mars Baseball in the future.

Thank you to these kind people who, though they never met my parents, believed in the cause and gave of their time.
