Dear Mary and the family of Virginia: On behalf of the Powell family we extend our deepest sympathy on the lost of your dear sister. I worked with her years ago before I left Topeka.
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Be blessed.

I am sure my Aunt Virginia is introducing the angels to great books to read, beautifully unique jewelry, good food and great cocktails. These are just a few of the things my Aunt Ginny/Aunt Gin-Gin taught me. Again, I will forever treasure the many fond memories I am so blessed to carry in my heart.

May you rest in peace Aunt Virginia ~ I love you,
