Not sure what to say?

Virginia, you were such a support and always made me feel that you were "on my side". Though i have such regret of not visiting more often these last couple of years our talks were the best. i will continue to pray for you and your family to find the comfort that they may need in this time of such great loss. you were the best. I already "visited" with Dad to be ready to and have a drinky drink, drink ready for both of you.

I didn't get to interact all that much with Virginia. I sure enjoyed those interactions that I had with her. If you looked in the dictionary for the definition of the word, Lady, there would be a picture of Virginia beside it.

What a delightful woman. Patty, Bill and family - may your memories of Virginia keep her in your hearts forever.

There is one more Angel in Heaven!! My thoughts and prayers to all of you. She will be missed ~ now what do I do with all my chocolate?? She is at peace and all I can think of is she is running around in her heels, skirt, makeup and perfect hair, showing attitude and taking care of business in Heaven!!
Love you all
