Dear Mr.Visintainer, Wayne and Dawn; I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Visintainer's (to me) passing. I remember how kind and caring she was as a leader of our church youth group (hi-league). Although this was so many years ago, she was someone that made lasting impression on me. She was a positive role model for as a teenager. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Sincerely Alice Zory
