Moving to an assisted living facility was hard for my Mom, Marie Devenney. But when she met Ms. Virginia she felt like she had been given an "extra sister". She was a blessing to her & to our family too! We're keeping your family in our prayers.

Dear Grandmother,
I was so fortunate to be your grand daughter. You were someone that I admired and loved so very, very much. You were such an inspiration to be a very genuine and thoughtful person to everyone....no matter what. I had never heard you speak negatively towards anyone and to treat others as you would like them to treat you. I will miss your giggle and beautiful smile. Your family will be celebrating the wonderful happy and healthy life that you had during the 100 years that you lived. We are just so lucky to have loved you for so long and want you to know that we will think of you every day knowing that you are in a much better place and where you have been longing to be. I love you Grandma and God bless you!
