Trip and Marybelle and family.. I was so sorry to read that Greta passed away but how wonderful that you had her for so many wonderful years. I loved her smile and enthusiasm. Trip, I remember seeing the two of you in the airport in Sarasota several years ago. I always loved talking with her. I'm sorry I will be out of town for the services but will be thinking of her and all of you. Marti Wright
