Commendations from New Stained Glass Patrons

Arthur Caliandro, Minister, Marble Collegiate Church, New York, NY

• '' The extraordinarily beautiful new window has been a great experience for me and many others here at Marble. The process of creating the scene, the good energy and good will of the participants, all made for a memorable journey.
  
  I hope we will have the opportunity of doing another window in the near future.''

Al Riva, FAPS Inc,, New Stella Mara Chapel, Port Newark, NJ

• '' We would...like to thank you, for not only the cooperation that you gave us and help in the suggestions on the six stained glass windows and installation, and also our sincere appreciation, without your help this project would not have been accomplished in such a timely and efficient manner.
  
  Once again, from all of us a SPECIAL THANK YOU.''

Rev. Jeffrey O. Cerar, St. Mary's Church - Fleeton, Reedville, VA

• '' On May 12, the Sunday after the Ascension, we dedicated our new window depicting the ascension of our Lord. It was a glorious occasion. The window was as beautiful as all the windows you have made for us the past 51 years.
  
  There may be another window or two in our future. If so, we will most certainly ask Lamb Studios to do them for us. Thank you for your professional service.''

Kay McGee Phillips, President, Salemtowne Moravian Retirement Community, Winston-Salem, NC

• '' Not a day passes without my feeling such gratitude to you and Lamb Studios for the beautiful stained glass windows at Salemtowne. As light streams through the magnificent colors and reflects on objects in the Saal and in the Chapel, anyone present almost senses a feeling of holiness and awe.
  
  Don, when donors are happy with their gifts, everyone involved is rewarded. Lamb Studios accomplished this for Salemtowne through the windows. We do thank you.''

Members of the Ad Hoc Committee, Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Bloomingburg, NY

• '' Now that our second "window project" has been completed we would like to thank the artists and staff members of Lamb Studio. By their creativity and professionalism, they were truly partners with us in bringing this work to completion.
  
  The colors and concepts embodied in the two windows have been admired and approved by the church congregation.

  So we do thank you for your outstanding contribution to the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and should the need arise we will certainly call on you again. ''

Michael A. Orfitelli, Chairperson of the Manchester Citadel Building Committee, The Salvation Army, Manchester, CT

• '' On behalf of the Manchester Citadel Building Committee of The Salvation Army, please accept my heartfelt thanks for the beautiful stained glass windows that grace our chapel. From the day that we moved back into the sanctuary, everyone has commented on the brilliance of the windows, and the magnificence of the design. They are perfect!
  
  More than anything else, I appreciated the way that you combined your artistic gifts with your personal spiritual experience to create a unique expression for worship. When I see the radiant cross and the soaring dove, it enhances my sense of worship immeasurably.
  
  Given our experience, The Salvation Army Manchester Citadel Corps will gladly recommend you and Lamb Studios to anyone interested in utilizing your services. May God continue to bless you and the important work that you do.''

Rev. John H. McCann, S.M.M. Administrator, Our Lady of Grace Church, Bantam, CT

• '' The stained glass windows are in place and are a testament to the fact that we "made the right choice" when we selected Lamb Studios to meet our stained glass window needs. The windows are beautiful, the colors are brilliant, and the overall appearance is not only bey0nd our expectations, but surpasses any windows we have every seen in other churches.
  
  Because of our experience, we would not hesitate to recommend Lamb Studios to others. Doing business with Lamb Studios has been a pleasant experience.''

Claudia Yeakel, Chairperson, Stained Glass Window Committee, Christ United Methodist Church, Sugar Land, TX

• '' As I read some of the early writings of the Lamb family on Sacred Art and also being a fan of their work in Stanford University Chapel, in Palo Also, I found that you have carried on in their philosophy of the visual apsects of a sanctuary speaking of God's beauty and grace.
  
  I realize that the 677 square feet of window was a challenge. You and Roy have created a gorgeous and glorious stained glass window that will inspire and bless all those who experience it. Every time I see it, I am more grateful and I look forward to having that occur for a long time.
  
  Thank you for keeping Lamb Studios in the tradition of the founders. Thank you for helping us to make our response to God, a visual and spiritual reality in our lives. ''
