Victoria Carchidi

My condolences. May you have comfort from the Almighty.

I too was a classmate at Baldwin and have memories of Victoria full of youth and glee. She was an inspiration to all of us who were lucky enough to have shared some time with her here. My heart feels for all in her life. Keep your memories close.

Victoria was a student of mine in the Landscape Architecture Dept. at the University of Pennsylvania and wrote the most beautiful descriptions of sites we visited during our fall field class (see photo of Victoria sketching at Island Beach State Park in fall of 2008). I always looked forward to reading her work. I am incredibly saddened by Victoria's passing as I know she intended to continue on with her studies and she was truly a gifted researcher and writer. I feel lucky to have known...

I am very sorry to hear of Victoria's passing. I, too was a Baldwin classmate. Victoria or Tori, as we often called her at Baldwin, had an incredibly creative mind and spirit. Her unique personality was held dear. I can still see her, in my minds' eye, meowing and remember her many catlover's tales. My sincere condolences to all who loved her.

Victoria lightened many classes for me at Baldwin. Her wit led us to an "ode-off," inspiring such sophomore pen-emanations as "Will you lend me three bob for some cat food?" and other reflections on furry critters. She was always warm, ready to engage and so very much her own woman. My heart is with her husband, her mother and all of her family.

Victoria was a close classmate of mine. I remember dancing to Peter and the Wolf in her living room...their 8 cats...time in the Adirondacks too.

I'm very sorry to learn of Victoria's untimely passing. She was a classmate of mine at Baldwin, and I can still remember her wonderfully rebellious spirit during her first year there. My deepest condolences to all her family and loved ones, critters included.
