I was sorry to hear of Aunt Virginia's passing. This is almost the end of an era for our family. I know she's having a great time in heaven partying like the old days with Uncle Judy, plus my Dad Bert and my Mom Charlotte and the rest of the family.

It was an honor to have known Virgina, who provided more care to me than I ever did for her. I am saddened, however, to have lost my guardian angel, but fully expect the postmark on my next get well card to read, simply, "Heaven."
Our little family extends our sympathies and condolences to Mary and family. Daniel and Lynette Lindholm, Sweetie Pie, Barney and Maddie

Uncle Jim & Aunt Mary Jane, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your mother, she was one of the kindest people I have ever known. I will remember her warm smile, and the way she made everyone feel like family. Our thoughts and prayers will be with her, and all of your family. Love Dan & Linda, Adriel, Mikhael & Angela

Our
prayers are with you all. I know my parents (Katie and Charlie Cecil)
loved Virginia-they spoke of her often and always mentioned how much
she loved their little dogs, Greta and Gracie. Please know you are in
our thoughts during this time.
