Virginia and I were very good friends, many years ago in Blacksburg, Va. She was
one of the nicest people I have ever known. I have just now learned that she has
died, and I am terribly saddened. Her Steve and my Kathy played
together every day, they were so little. Then we moved to Pennsylvania
and we eventually, lost touch. I have thought of her very often, through the years.
So very sad.

I am Cassie Rutland's daughter in law. I had not seen Ginny in a while but thought about her often. Her laugh was contagious... I am sorry for your loss.

She was a dear friend from our High School days. We were so sorry to hear of her passing.
Our prayers are with her family for their loss.

God saw you were getting tired
Perfect rest you could not see
So he put his arms around you
And wispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
Your golded heart stopped beating,
You precious soul to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

I was sadden to hear of Ginny's passing. We worked together for many years at Philip Morris. She was a kind and loving person, always ready to lend a helping hand. She offered me much support during trying times in my life. She will be forever fondly remembered.

Sue, Steve, Matt and Sarah,
I was saddened to hear of V's passing. I always enjoyed being around her. She was funny and enjoyable to talk with. I'll never forget working in Tooties with her and the many times, Irene, Lexi, Brandon, Sue, Sarah and V, and I would have lunch or dinner out. May V rest in peace while you all have the wonderful memories of her.
I Love y'all
