Not sure what to say?

Mike, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear the passing of Virgina. I have many memories of her as she was like a second mother to me when I was younger. I always admired her love for her children and family. She let me stay over a lot even though see had a house full of children. I have lots of precious memories of her. Happy to know she is with her loved ones in heaven. With my deapest sympathy to her and her family you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all!

So very sorry to hear about "Granny" (as she was known by so many). She was kind, caring, loving and a beautiful woman. She is in peace now in Heaven as an angel watching over her family below and having a grand reunion with those who have passed before her waiting for her arrival - I am certain.

Virginia was a woman who was kind to all she met. She loved her children and took loving care of her brother and sister. My first recollection of Virginia was when Kenny and Lois moved to the south end of Flint, she was driving over to check on Michael and Becky. I remember that she went out of her way to take care of all of them in any way she could. She was the kind of grandma everyone wished they could have, someone who dotted over their every need. She was a wonderful lady and I really...

There are never any words to make the passing of our Moms hurt less. May the Lord Bless you and heal your hearts.
Love, Marsha (Tyree) Case
