So sorry to hear of Vangie's passing. She is the second of our "fearsome foursome" to now have passed away, Elroy was the first in April of 2014. At every Ruff Reunion, the four of us (Vangie, Elroy and Duane Enzminger and I) would have to have a picture taken. We always called her the "old lady". Her birthday was in Feb., mine in May, Elroy in July, and Duane in Dec. (all born in 1940). Many fond memories of our youth days as our families visited often. I hope for the best for Clarance. With the number of children, grands, great grands, and great, great grands, there has to be many, many memories to memorize Vangie.
