I am not sure to whom to address this, but I just received the information that Chris Arots died recently. My heart goes out in particular to Joseph Arots, to Joy Arots, to Samantha Arots. Joe, you may remember me, as I had a close relationship with Chris in 2004-2005. Losing a child is a great sorrow. Today happens to be the third anniversary of the death of my husband's younger son, Ned Bradak, from an incurable genetic disease, and I see Gary's grief. I pray for God's consolation to you. You were so kind to me, Joe, when I joined the Catholic Church in 2005. You are in my prayers. Joy, you did not have very long with your husband. My sense was that Chris very much needed "joy" in his life, and then YOU came into it. I hope the two of you created many good memories together. You are also in my prayers. Samantha, you were very dear to me. I didn't know you for long, but I treasured you. I will always remember seeing you perform with the children's choir in Turandot, your help and fashion sense in assisting me to choose a fancy dress, and your own sorrow when you were struggling over your relationship with Mickey. I hope your family holds you close and that you can express your feelings through your art. Betsy, I remember the colors in your home. That freedom and beauty inspired me to choose vivid color in the home my husband Gary and I bought in Utah. Barbie, I know that your brother loved you and your kids very much. He struggled with his own demons; he now is free. Gary and I were in London and Paris for two weeks recently, and upon my return I got the news of Chris' death from two former bandmates in Cape May County NJ. One of the things we did while in Paris was go to Mass at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and we prayed there. May our prayers and those of others be of some comfort at this hard time. God bless us, everyone. Linda Foster Bradak, 75 Canterbury Circle, Logan UT 84321
