Virginias' family,
I used to work with Virginia at General Motor Lines, in the late 70's, early 80's. She was a very nice person, very caring and kind spirited.

Helen and Carol Sue, expect you have forgotten me but Nancy Foutz and I lived over you folks on Guilford Ave. for some time. Knew your mom and dad real well and really thought the world of them. Knew many of Virginia's family and we had some good times on picnics with your family. I was Thelma Foutz and married Richard Carner. Your mother got him on a at General Motors when Associated Transport went out. If I hadn't lost my hearing would be there tomorrow but diidn't even hear the sermon at Dick's funeral. Please take care and stay strong. With love, Thelma
