Cathy and Charla the loss of your very precious and irreplaceable mother must be overwhelming. I am so sorry for your loss.
I remember Virginia as a bright, sensible, good natured cousin. After she had her family then she went on to get a good education to better her family. Her memory will live on in her family.

She was a great teacher. I loved her so very much. I especially loved being in her one act plays and English classes. She will be greatly missed.
