Adelaide,

Who now am I going to have to discuss God with. I remember those rides to the various Atlantic County American Legion Meetings and we would talk about a lot of things.

I will really miss you a lot. However I know that God has already welcomed you with open arms and I now have another friend to intercede on my behalf with Him.

God Bless and keep you Adelaide.

Vincent B. Mento, Past Atlantic County Commander, Vice Commander and Adjutant.
