Not sure what to say?

As the class of 1965 PHS plan our reunion we miss you and think of you often and smile. We miss you and I miss our talks on Facebook keeping in touch. Sherrie White Harbertson

Dear Family of Virginia,
I just wanted to say that Ginny is not forgotten and as we plan our Panguitch Class reunion of 1965 she is in our thoughts and she will have her picture displayed on a special tablet for our friends who have passed on. We had so many good times and adventures growing up and one I do remember is making lunches and riding our bikes to the flume at the top south of hwy 89 with some of our other friends and laughing, eating our lunch and swimming in our underwear in...

Bob and family,
We were saddened to read of Virginia's passing, and know it will leave a huge hole in each of your lives. Memories are wonderful - and you have so many good ones with her.
Love and blessings,
Gail and Bonnie Adair Miles

Dear Bob and family,
I am greatly saddened by the sudden passing of Ginny. What a pleasure I had working with her at U S F and watching you do your beautiful wood carving.
May you be comforted in knowing that this is only a temporary separation. Families are forever and you will all be together again.
With heartfelt sympathy,

In my capacity as District Director for Rehabilitation Services in So. Utah I had the great privilege of working closely with Virginia on establishing and coordinating programs and services for disabled and underserved adults and youth in our eleven county area. There was no one better than Virginia when it came to understanding the needs of people who just needed a little help to get there lives going in the right direction.

Virginia always kept her focus on the welfare of the people...

Dear Family,
Virginia and I were friends at a very early age. We lived close to each other and I have fond memories of times spent in her home. Her mom, Rama, always made candied popcorn for us to eat while we played. Virginia helped me memorize The Lord's Prayer as we walked to and from school. She was very smart and a good friend. We are fortunate to have wonderful memories when someone dear to us passes away. We will all miss her but find great comfort knowing we will see her again....

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Ginny's passing. I have many fond memories of her in our growing up years in Panguitch and lately have enjoyed following her on Facebook. She was a fun friend and a great lady. She will be missed. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I have know Ginny from high school when she was a Bobcat and I was a Mustang. I had the opportunity of opening a Head Start program under her direction then it was my privilege to work with her in the St. George Temple. She has blessed my life, as she did everyone she met. Again she teaches us to treasure each day. She will be greatly missed, but always remembered.

Bob and family,
Many great memories and fun times, for those wonderful Panguitch years, where Ginny was a big part of all that transpired. She is a great friend and will be missed. Always a smile and helping hand for all she knew. May your sweet memories help to warm your heart. We will remember Ginny as she is one of the great ones. You can have assurance of knowing where she is waiting to greet all of you.
With sympathy,
