We feel so bad that we won't be able to attend Aunt Virginia's service. Bill and I will always remember the times we visited Uncle Floyd and Aunt Virginia in Lincoln City. We were always greeted with open arms and a smile. Gods Blessings to all of the family and we will say a special prayer for all of you and Aunt Virginia. Love Bill and Maria

I just wanted to tell you what a amazing woman she was. She always made me smile. And when I went to working just on Saturday and Sunday to take care of my grandchildren, she try to ask the boys if it was ok if I came back full time to take care of her. I know that she is in a happier place and I will miss her a lot. The last thing I heard from her was that she loved me. And I loved her too.
