I just finished reading the Bowie Blade and saw the notice about Virginia's death. I'm so sorry to hear the news and I think of her every time I ride past your old house. God surely kept his eye on her. God bless the whole family.

Your Mom was one of the original group at Rider Wood in Calvert Landing. We lost our Mom a few years ago and she and your Mom along with Harold and his crew all were at dinner each night together and always looking out for each other. I guess the only ones still left are Mary and Hazer.
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers tommorrow as you send your Mom off to be with the Lord. Cindy Dellosa -(Kitty Shoap's daughter)
