I was saddened when I read of Vange's passing. My sympathy goes to her children and extended family. Although I haven't had contact with her for quite some time, I will always fondly remember her as a kind and generous woman. My life was enriched by knowing her. She will be missed. There was always a "gang" around her table whenever Bill and I visited. I still use her sweet potato casserole recipe for holidays.

Dear Mrs. Rupp: I was sad to hear of your passing, but you are now reunited with your beloved Francis! You were a great lady, and I have many fond memories of you being a Mom to all the kids in the neighborhood. You and all the other ladies of the 'old' neighborhood were stay at home Moms because it was the right thing to do during that era. Thank you for everything you did. We all are sad because you are not here in physical form, but you are in Heaven! Rest in peace dear lady, you deserve it! Sincerely,

Mrs Rupp: For those left here in this world, we grieve, we are sad, but you are now reunited with your beloved Francis! You lived a good, full life and gave with such grace and dignity to anyone that was in need.
You never were selfish and always kind. I will never forget you as a one of the many stay at home Moms for all the kids on Blueridge Drive, and High Point Homes. Always a kind word and a smile on your face. Rest in Peace dear lady, you deserve it.
Sincerely,
Nancy Woodell
