To all of Virginia's Family, Especially Crystal and Betty, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember her at Davis Station making Great Grilled Cheese Sandwiches! And I had the privilege later to work with her at Wayfara. She always had a smile and a great attitude and was a good co-worker and neighbor. You and Round Grove lost another good one.
Sincerely,
Evelyn (Dunbar) Leader
