Dear Beverlyy,Megan,Joe,Terry and Earl-Your mother and grandmother was a real treasure me and to our church family at Crozet Baptist.
I attended a weekly(most of the time)bible study/prayer time at Sue and Jim Copelands house on Wednesdays until I began to work on Wednesdays.We met for a couple years and Virginia was often in attendance.She lovingly spoke about her family and her husband Joe.She treasured all of her gandchildren. Our two daughters were previleged enough to receive Barbies with hand crocheted clothes. We will think of Virginia every time that we use our Christmas topper that Virginia made.
Her incredible love and generosity will not be forgotten.
With love & sympathy-Chris Adams(Mark,Megan,Nicholas &Catherine also)

Dear Joe, Terry and Beverly,
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Virginia's passing. She was a wonderful and kind woman. I am sorry I will not be there tomorrow for the service. We bought mama and daddy's house and will be back June 8th till fall. If you have a memorial service at Crozet later, I hope I will be in Virginia to attend.
