Fond memories of Virginia, never forgotten

I will always hold a very special place in my heart for Aunt Virginia. Such a strong and beautiful person. My prayers and love to the family.

So fortunate to have visited with Virginia last year, wonderful memories through the years

Jean and I considered Virginia one of our dearest friends during our 18 years at Randolph-Macon College. More than just a friend, she was a dear, kind, loving, and wise counsellor to us and to all who knew her. We regret her loss and hope that her memory will sustain her family and friends.

We extend ouy sincere sympathy during your time of grief. Soon there will come a time when there will be no sickness and death. Isa 33:24

Heartfelt sympathies to all in your family for your great loss during this difficult time of sorrow. May the promise found at John 6:40 bring you comfort and hope in the days ahead.

My condolences to the family. May the fond memories you cherish of Virginia comfort and sustain you in your time of need.
