Dear Glen and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of "Sis". I have fond memories of her from my childhood in Baltimore. I will never forget her spirit and her sense of humor. Sis was such a gentle and kind cousin. I can still hear mom (Helen Wagner Ports) saying with excitement whenever you came to Baltimore, "Sis and Glen are coming!"
I feel that being the youngest of the Ports clan, I missed out on really knowing the Pennsylvania side of the Wagner family. While as an adult I had few opportunities to be with you and Sis, I am happy that I renewed contact with her in the last few years. It is my hope that somehow we will stay connected. I know that you and Louise will always remain in my heart.
My love and prayers are with you.
Ronnie (Veronica Ports Melendez)
P.S. My husband, Jose, also sends his condolences
Dear Glenn, Karen, Bonnie and Johnny,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sorry we can’t be there in person but will be there in spirit. I will miss your Mother’s monthly telephone visits.
God Bless you all,
Honey and Len
