My memory of Virginia Renfroe was of her faithful attendance and sweet spirit. She was very dedicated to her husband and family. She was a real blessing to our church family. She will be missed, but she is singing in heaven now. Love and Prayers for her family.

Mrs. Renfroe was indeed a dear Christian lady. She was a blessing in her church and a wonderful testimony and inspiration. Before she became ill, she never missed a church service. She enjoyed singing in the choir and was such a blessing. I know her family will miss her here on earth but you can comfort yourselves in knowing that she is now spending time with her Saviour!

With prayers for your comfort,
Debbie Dunbar
