John's Mom Passes Away at Age 88 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 11-11-2003, 08:49 PM

Entertainment Tonight is reporting that John's mom, Dorothy Fay Ritter, has passed away at age 88 on Sunday after a long illness. This is just so sad. A few years back a London newspaper (I think) reported that she passed away, but it was false and they later printed that they were wrong.

Rest in Peace Dorothy Ritter.

Oh no...I just can't imagine how hard the Ritter family is taking it...John's brother...Losing his brother and now his mom....

omg

this is sad! I hope that the Ritter family stays away from any more tragedies

They've been through more than enough in the past few months.

Well, at least she is with her son. My thoughts and prayers are with the Ritter family now, what a sad time for them, John's poor brother.

Sean12 · 11-12-2003, 02:17 AM

Good lord, poor family! I pass all my condolences to them!

Mr. Roper · 11-12-2003, 08:38 AM

So sad! Now Stella doesn't even have a grandma!

I'm so sorry to hear about John and Tom's mother. That's so difficult to handle. God, please help the Ritter family throgh these great losses. The Ritter Family is in my thoughts and prayers!

LILFACE23 · 11-13-2003, 01:22 AM

OMG, I can't believe this. Those poor people. I'm literally in shock right now. If it hadn't been for John's death, it probably wouldn't be bad, seeing she was 88. But my God, what a way to start the holidays. That family is definitely in my prayers for a loooooong time.

RIP Mrs. Ritter. Give your son a hug for me!!!

That poor baby. Such tragedies in such a short time at such a young age. She's gonna be one strong person when she grows up dealing with all of this now. That poor angel. I wish I could give her and Amy a big hug and just be there for them.

and Tom.

LILFACE23 · 11-15-2003, 01:40 AM

I'll bet that's what it was. That poor family.
