We were very sad to learn of Virginia's passing. We bought a home next to Virginia's summer home in Colonial Beach and she was a wonderful neighbor over the past twenty-years. She was a charming lady and was always full of live and friendly to our family. Over the years we also had a chance to meet her family and became a close friend of Jack Stover. We have a heavy heart for Jack's loss and that of the family. My wife Jonell and I offer our most genuine condolences for your loss. We are so fortunate to have know Virginia and will miss her very much. We are certain that our loss is Heaven's gain.

I am so sorry to hear of Virginia's passing. Virginia worked at our company (Schwartz Brothers) back in the 50's and early 60's so I have known her since I was about five years old, about 60 years. May she rest in peace and God Bless her family.
