Mrs. Rupp and my mother, Ann Murphy, were caring friends, neighbors for decades in the Beltsville neighborhood where the children all grew up. Many childhood memories of her kindness and friendship. She touched so many of us...her love for others was real. It is her legacy.

My dear Aunt Vange is the reason for many fond childhood and adult memories. No matter how old she was when she left this world, it still hurts to hear that she is not there, ready to make me a nice ham sandwich. .... I will always love my sweet Aunt Vange.
