Virginia was such a blessing and I'm honored that she came into my life. During our times together we danced, sang hymnals, long conversations about family and afternoons out on the front porch. Virginia, your beautiful smile and blowing kisses would make my heart smile so much. You will be deeply missed but I know your celebrating with our Lord and Savior. Thoughts and Prayers to the Blalock family.
