I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Virgiss. I remember when my best friend was killed in her car, Virgiss was so kind to me and we had a lot of talks about death and the after life. I know she is in a much better place now. I got to meet Virgiss through Burnham Brook, and I will always remember her. Please try to stay strong and always look towards the lord for strength. If I would have known sooner, I would have attended the services. Just know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
