Hi,

By now you hopefully have received our sympathy cards, which can't begin to express our profound sadness at Virginia's passing. We were quite surprised to learn of it on Friday Jan. 5th; by then it was too late to shift the plans so we could attend the funeral. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
