May you feel God's love wrapped around you as you go through this tough time. Hold on to the good memories you shared together and know that God understands your grief and is there to provide the comfort you need.
Mrs. Virginia was so thoughtful of others and shared her bread with those who were in need of love and encouragement as long as she was able. She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
