Dear Greg: My husband of 57 years, Joseph Suda, passed away on Feb. 27, 2008. He was in the army infantry in Italy in the Blue Devils company. As his widow, I called the Veterans Administration to obtain his pension benefit. About a week after his death, a lady came to my door at the Brookdale assisted living facility where we moved in 2006. She asked for our marriage license, my husband's death notice and discharge papes, and said I would be hearing from them. Well, a year went by and I didn't hear anything, so I called the V.A. and spoke to Tom, who said they lost the file but would keep looking for it.
