Amber, Shawn, Bridget, and Mrs. Metzler:
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I never met her, but the obituary described her as a lovely person and I was reminded of my own grandmother, whom I also miss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Ginny and Doc were good friends and I will miss Ginny as I do Doc. We spent many afternoons talking over the back fence we shared. May God bless each you in your loss.

Billy, David & Charlie:
We are sorry to hear about the passing of Virginia. Virginia and Doc were great friends of my mom and dad (Thayer & Alice Morris). She was a wonderful woman. Always with a kind word for everyone. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

"Mrs. Metzler" and her wonderful food was a big and important part of my growing up. I will miss her greatly.

Did I mention the cooking?

Dear Billy,David & Charlie, I am so sorry that you have lost your mother here on earth, but she is heavens gain. I loved you mom so much and admired her. She taught me how to be a real lady, how to clean house and so many more things that I remember growing up beside her & Doc next door from my age of 12 yrs old. Please accept my sincere sympathy at this time of your sorrow. Ruth Perdue Traficanti
