    Donna and Jim, I was very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Some of my fondest childhood memories were of Orchard Street. Mrs. Sitts was one of the best Mom's on the block, always a warm smile and plenty of cookies with a glass of soda. Her home was always open to all the neighborhod kids, she was a special lady and will surely be missed.

    So sorry for your loss, I have fond memories of Esther and Don coming to my dance classes and events. They loved to dance and had a lot of fun times out on the dance floor.
