Not sure what to say?

I miss you and perhaps you and Bill are sharing our good times together.

Virginia lived next door when I wasa teenager. She was a delight

I will never forget Virginia who lived next door for a period of time while I was growing up. Her friendiness and laugh were infectious. She was a caring mother to a bunch of cute kids. She and my Mom were good friends who liked to chat and giggle in the yard and kitchen.

RIP in Grandma - best storyteller I ever knew.

Can't imagine the party that is happening in heaven right now!
Eases the loss to think of our parents laughing together again.
I carry your Mothers' kindness with me everyday of my life. Feel very privileged to have known you all. Love, Elizabeth

Virginia will be missed by all. She was a dear friend to my mother-in-law Elsa Hansen (turned 100 last Oct) while they lived in Summerfield.

Virginia (Mrs. Westgate to us as young girls) was a strong, fun and vital energy in her family, our neighborhood, and everywhere she went. I will always remember her wonderful smile and warmth...a gift to all who knew her!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. I have fond memories of Virginia from Fawcett Street in Tacoma. She was always quick with a smile and story, usually about the mischief her children had gotten into. She'd come to our house to visit with our mom and we girls loved hearing her tales, always with lots of laughter. Virginia was easy to love. What a great life and inspiration to many of us.

A beautiful light has been extinguished, all our prayers are with the Westgate family...
