Rusty & family: June 26, 2010
I am so glad that I had the pleasure of meeting and knowing your mother. Although, Virginia was bedridden and did not feel well whenever I would visit her at the nursing home, she never once stopped sharing that beautiful smile of hers. If I wanted to see a "big gleam" in her eyes, all I had to do was start talking about "Rusty" and the rest of her family". I would share with her what the sermon was about at church on Sunday and how I was always fulfilled spiritually whenever I left Parkview. she would move her head in an upward manner and smile and smile. She understood what I always said to her. Virginia loved to hear me say that her son Rusty looked just like her. It was true and it really made her day!!!!!!! She was a mother, who was proud of her family.
I feel blessed from knowing Virginia and will miss going to visit
with her. One thing for sure, she
is with God and is now of one of his special angels in heaven.
Hope all the wonderful and beautiful memories of your mother will help comfort you in many ways. I know how it feels to lose a love one.
May God be with each of you.
Always,
Linda Withrow Seely

Rusty, Richard,
I know she was so very proud of both of you. You could see it in her eyes when she looked at you. The thing we need to remember is that she is with God and has seen the face of Jesus. How amazing is that. I know you will all miss her so much....

My prayers are with the Beck and Stewart families at this time. You have lots of good memories, and all of you spent as much time with your Mother and Granny as you possibly could. She loved you as much as you loved her. She is in a far better place.
