I knew Vastie from the J.L. Mann marching, pep, and concert band. She was always a sweet person in my interactions with her, with a good sense of humor and fun. She always practiced and played her parts well in performances, and I never knew her to say anything unkind about or to anyone. I am sorry she left us so early in life. And I'm sorry for her family's loss. Prayers and blessings to her family.
