My sweet friend, time has past since we lost you but you are never far from my mind. Playing a BeeGee song or seeing a sunflower always, always brings you to my mind and my heart. I love you and miss you dearly Virginia.

Mrs. Sloan was a fantastic teacher and connected with her students in a way most teachers never get the chance. She leaves a lasting impression on you that I was lucky to experience through my Journalism classes with her. Thanks for being that teacher that inspired students and for making learning fun. You will be missed!

I had the honor to work with Virginia at EHS. She was an admirable lady and a 1st class teacher. My best wishes to Mike and Virginia's children.

Kirby and Kelly, my condolences for your loss. Your mom was so much fun! She influenced my life in many positive ways. I had the good fortune to have lunch with her about four years ago and she was as vibrant and joyful as I had remembered. She was an inspiration to many and I am grateful that I knew her as a teacher and as a friend.

I really enjoyed taking year book from Mrs. Sloan. It was one of my favorite classes, and I still think of that class to this day. She influenced and made a difference to so many people. You will be missed.

I was on the 'Hornet's Nest' high school paper for the three years at Enterprise. I think Ms. Ralston was the best teacher I've ever had. She was always so patient, kind and pretty too!

I have just learned of Virginias passing. She will be truly missed by many. She came into my scrap store with a smile, a hug and a cheery hello every week. When I closed the store she continued to come to my card classes, always with a laugh and a story to be told... Ahhh ... What a wonderful, kind spirit who I was so graced by. Thank you for being a friend and I will always remember your vibrant smile and twinkle in your eyes!

I knew Virginia in the 1976-1979 EHS era as "The Ms." -later, so happy to be Senora Slone. I learned the best journalism skills from Virgina back in the day of counting pica typewriter letters and drawing in blue pencil. She raised a wonderful family of kind souls who were all so welcoming. Blessings to Kirby and Kelly and their families. Peace to her soul.

We are so saddened to hear of virgina's passing..what a bright and special person she was! Even though it's been years since we had gotten together our memories of the fun and laughter we shared are ever present..our prayers are with you and your family Michael..please call us if you are in our area or you would like to be..much love to you..Shelly and Jack Kenealy 530-312-1737
