The family, friends and loved ones of missing Marshall woman Mary Lands launched one balloon for every month she's been missing over the past three years this afternoon on Fountain Circle. For more on the status of the investigation and an interview with Marshall Public Safety Chief Mike Olson, see the March 19 edition of The Chronicle.

A very dear friend of Cliff & Anita Marshall provided them with this lovely poem and they were deeply moved. Permission was approved for the poem to be anonymously published on behalf of Mary. It reads;
I think of you often
As you may already know,
Since trouble and turmoil
Gave your life quite a blow.
I didn't know Mary
Although I feel like I did,
I can't even fathom
The loss of a kid.
Justice for Mary
Is all that you ask,
Yet the police don't quite
Seem up to the task.
Your name may be Marshall
But it has no clout,
Is that what this case
Has become all about?
Where are the citizens
Of this small Midwest town?
Would you get more attention
if you hired a clown?
Memorials and fundraisers
And only family is there...
Where are the people
Who claim that they care?
Could they do this alone
If it was their personal life?
Or would they pray for support
During their family's strife?
I look at Mary's picture
With a tear in my eye,
And wonder if she'll ever
Get a proper Good-bye.
Friendship by circumstance
"Family" by choice,
I'd sacrifice it all
for you to hear Mary's voice.
Thoughts of no new memories
I can only imagine how that stings,
But I believe that she is free
Toting halo and wings!!
