My blessing is for your memories to. last forever. I was her classmate and we talked once about whether we would marry into the Army. We were both so crazy about our Soldier. My husband is MSG Hugh Glass. He was staff of Gen Ed Williams and Gen Griffing. I always hoped we would would meet sometime in our travels with our husbands. Vince I did meet you at Fiddlers Green once. You will not remember..I just told her were we not the most fortunate "gals"? I know you and the children will miss her, but someday we will meet again.She was so, so, precious. My regards and love goes out to you and yours. Fondly Dee Vanderpool Glass

My thoughts are with you. Marta and I were friends from Blue Bird and
Camp Fire days on through high school. I last saw Marta at her Mother's funeral. She was a special
friend as I was growing up.

Vincent, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Marta and I were locker mates in highschool and we both were in the science club and shared quite an interest in science. She went to O.U. and I choose O.S.U. and we didn't see that much of one another after highschool graduation. I did get to talk with her when she was here for her Mother's funeral. She was a good friend. Special thoughts, too, for your son, Vincent, and daughter, Laura and your two grandchildren. May God comfort you and yours during this difficult time. Shalom, pat
