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. ''

Commendations from Restoration Stained Glass Patrons

Christ Gaetanos, Chair, Restoration Committee, Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Annunciation, Buffalo, NY

'' Lamb displayed the highest integrity following the discovery during the restoration that certain construction conditions were not as anyone expected them to be. Nevertheless, the Church and Lamb were able to resolve their differences promptly and without rancor, something we could not have done without Lamb's flexibility and understanding. As well, Lamb's representatives were responsive and knowledgeable and Lamb completed its work on time and within budget. We are pleased to recommend them without reservation.''

Richard Veffer, Managing Director, The Ritz Tower, New York, NY

'' I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping my wife and me with the leaded glass windows for our home in Caldwell, New Jersey. Your assistance in selecting the type of distorted glass matches perfectly to the existing windows that were put on when our tudor house was originally built in 1936.

Your staff was extremely friendly, professional and very experienced. I would highly recommend Lamb Studios...''

Rev. Joseph A. Ferraro, Pastor, St. Anthony's Church, Belleville, NJ

'' I wanted to take this opportunity to express to you our satisfaction with the restoration and repair work that you have recently completed here at St. Anthony's. The replacement glass pieces that you created to match the broken panels, match in color and style perfectly, and are virtually undetectable.

We found your installation workmen to be very professional and knowledgeable, and respectful of both scheduling issues and working around other trades. Their workmanship and attention to detail was very much appreciated.

Should you require references for future work, we would be more than happy to provide any such information, as we would recommend you to others considering work of this magnitude.''

Otto P. Trostel, Co-Chair, Stained Glass Window Sub-Committee, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Scranton, PA

'' On behalf of the Stained Glass Sub-Committee of the Board of Trustees of Covenant Presbyterian Church, I would like to convey our thanks for the beautiful and professional job your company did in the restoration of our large and complex La Farge stained glass window last year.

As you know, the window is almost a century old. From the time of our first meeting, you and your company exhibited a sense of caring and appreciation for the restoration of this irreplaceable window, and also a sense of empathy for those of us in the church who ere tasked with this major job.

Without hesitation, we would heartily recommend J & R Lamb Studios to anyone who is considering the restoration of a stained glass window of any size or complexity.''

Mark S. Bruno, Branford Evangelical Free Church, Branford, CT

'' On behalf of the Deacon board of BEFC I would like to express our sincere thanks to you and your entire staff for the fine work done restoring our stained glass windows. They look beautiful! In addition to the colors looking so vibrant, the structure of each window is once again solid and secure.

Before we contracted with Lamb Studios we did check references from other churches that you worked with. They all said you were a man who keeps his world. How true that is! You always promptly returned our phone calls when we had questions and the entire project was completed early and under budget.

Please feel free to add our church to your already lengthy list of satisfied customers.''

Jack Messer, Senior Warden 2007, The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, Danville, VA

'' In 2006, we engaged J & R Lamb Studios for the restoration and renovation of two ...stained glass windows. This work included cleaning, touch-up paint, rebrace and touch up interior finish, change mismatch glass, flatten and brace various bulges in these two windows and change the aged lead cames. We were fortunate to have Lamb Studios available as the two windows were in serious condition and needed immediate attention, if we were not to lose them in one of the next storms.

What was most appreciated by the vestry and the congregation was Lamb Studios professional willingness to explain in great detail the work they were doing, how they would proceed and where they needed to be extra careful.

It goes without saying that the members of the Church of the Epiphany are pleased with the work done to the windows and are amazed at how much brighter the windows and designs are, now that they are completely restored and cleaned.''
