My sincere sympathy to the family. Harold was a beautiful human being and so was Virginia. They were real role models with kind hearts. Their memory will stay with me. God bless them and their family.

I was so sorry to miss Harold's service. Am living temporarily in Washington, DC. He must have missed Virginia so much he couldn't stay here any longer. I hope both of them are having a merry time with my mom and dad in heaven.

I have such nice memories of a remarkable man.

Warmly, Marilyn J. Smith

Dear Uncle Mike & Aunt Sue, we're so sorry to hear of your dad's passing - only thankful that he and Virginia are together once again. Know heaven is a better place with the two of them gracing it. Love to all in the Venable family, warmly Ted & Sue Hawksford

I was lucky to meet Harold and Virginia for the first time just before this last Christmas. I was curious to see what the parents of such smart, witty, open and accepting daughters (Judy, Pam and Jen) would be like? They were all of that and more! I will only know you through the light that shines in your children, but would like to thank you for doing such an amazing job on such a wonderful family!!! Much love to you all.

Mr. Venable simply missed his loving wife's spaghetti and other fine meals, not to mention her smile and love. They are now reunited for eternity and will enjoy everlasting happiness. The baseball stadiums now have 2 new season ticket holders. My thoughts are with you you all. Mike Johnson

To the whole Venable clan, It is not often that I feel joy when someone passes away. However the love that Harold and Virginia shared was esquisite! Knowing that they have been reunited, brings me great comfort and joy. I can see the reunion clear as day...he has flowers in his hands and she is holding a huge pan of piping hot lasagna (of course she is wearing one of her aprons) and both of them have a smile on from ear to ear! Peace, blessings and prayers of strength to all of you. Love, Mary (Williams) Beard

My thoughts are with you all! I so enjoyed Harold as I did Virginia, all through the years, in the grocery line at the Richmond Beach Q ! Stacey
