Virginia was always kind to me and I spent many Sundays at her house after church. Thank you for always making me feel welcome.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. I loved Aunt Virginia very much, and have many fond memories of her and your dad, and the fun times we all had as children. I am so thankful that she and my mom (Sugar as she called her) got to see each other a few years ago, and laugh and talked about old times, and I got to hug her and tell her I loved her...God Bless all of you and I hope to see you in October...Love,Carolyn
