Dear Family of Virgina Bass,
I was so sorry to read about your loss. I mailed Virginia an invitation to the annual Nachman's Department Store/Penns Luggage Holiday Luncheon on Monday. Over the years, she organized and help plan many employee luncheons. She kept meticulous records of her co-workers and never forgot their birthdays or the special events in their lives. She has not been able to attend the luncheons in recent years, but her energy and enthusiasm was there and will remain in our hearts forever. She was special to all who knew her. I send you my sincere sympathy,respect, and love,
Joanne Kates Roos, Yorktown, Virginia

Bobby, I am very sorry to find out about your mother. My heart goes out to you, because I know how difficult it is to lose a parent. I am honored to have known your mother and she was a true Christian and loved people. She is now in the presence of our Savior and this is so comforting. May the Holy Spirit bless and comfort you and your family my friend. I am blessed by knowing you and by knowing your parents from the past.
