John and I send our deepest sympathy. We have lost a very special member of our family. We all have a lot of fond memories of many fun times at the house in St Clair Shores. One of my favorite memories of her is when she taught me how to make Chicken & Dumplings. She and I had a special bond and I hold her tightly in my heart along with her brother Cal, my dad. I know he is glad to have her in heaven with him. Her legacy will live on in all of us.

Dear Carolyn & Mike and Ronnie & Antoinette:
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mom.
Aunt Virginia played an important part in keeping the Wessell family folklore alive. It was Aunt Virginia and her infectious smile and laugh that made friends and family feel welcome. I have fond memories of spaghetti dinners on the boat in the Ford Lagoon. It was my Aunt Virginia that provided a warm house and hot food after a day of ice skating on the canal. It was at my Aunt Virginia's that I learned to drink hot tea. It is hot tea that helps sustain me during the tough times of life.
Aunt Virginia and Uncle Oscar opened their hearts and home for the annual Wessell family reunions. I fondly remember the stories that were told and political roundtables.
We have been blessed to have your Mom in our lives. She has created a legacy of love that will live on through future generations.

Dear Carolyn & Mike and Ron & Antointette:
You have my deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother and my Aunt Virginia. Her smile and infectious laugh made friends and family feel welcome. I will always remember her famous spaghetti dinners on the boat anchored in the Ford lagoon. I fondly associate winter with childhood membories of hot food and a warm house that would welcome us after skating on the canal. It was at my Aunt Virginia's that I learned to enjoy hot tea. It has been hot tea and fond memories that have sustained me during some very difficult times.
It was Aunt Virginia and Uncle Oscar that opened their hearts and house for the annual family reunion. It is the family reunions that help keep family stories alive.
I feel I have been blessed to have Aunt Virgnia in my life. She has created a legacy of love that will live on for generations.
