Aunt Virginia,
I will miss you. I always enjoyed it when you visit Grandmother and Grandfather (Margaret and Leonard) in Dallas. Now with you and both of them gone, the world seems a little lonlier.
Love Barry (Bliss's son)

Words cannot describe the sadness and the joy that I felt when I heard of Virgina's passing. I have many great memories of our family reunions. Even though many years have gone by, the memories still make me smile. Your Mother was a special person to everyone who knew her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Cousin Dave

Virginia was as an angel on earth, she was beautiful on the outside but more importantly, she was beautiful on the inside. Everyone that had the honor of knowing her loved her and she loved them in return. She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be missed and I know that heaven is truly a brighter place because she is there.
I have two grandsons and Virginia used to sit on the floor and play with her grandchildren, so I learned that wonderful experience from her and I now sit on the floor and play with my grandsons. What a valuable lesson that is.
I consider myself a lucky person for knowing her and having her in my life.
To her family and all of her loved ones I send my deepest sympathy and love.

In life one occasionally gets to be blessed by relationship to enjoy a super, kind, and gentle person. My Aunt Virginia was one of those really great individuals who enjoyed life, enjoyed her many friendships, enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grand children. I was blessed to be a nephew, and growing up I got to enjoy many visits with our Aunt and my uncle Paul and there children Carolyn, Ginger, and Dennis when they came to visit us in Illinois. Small memories mean a great deal as we grow older. Though we might not spend everyday with our relatives they are never forgotten, and those memories get us through the grief of today. A loving smile, a soft touch, a glitter in ones eyes, a witty humor, and a loving grace and beauty. That was my aunt. So now we pay our respects and remember how wonderful our Aunt Viriginia was in living. That is our testimony to her life in that she touched so many.

Virginia was an angel on earth. She was one of the kindest women I ever knew. She loved everyone she met. I always felt loved by her. Even at the end of her life, she continued to be an angel. What a sweet and beautiful woman both inside and out. I send my love and condolences to the Huston family.

Dr Huston is my boss. He is one of the most kindest, gentlest and sincerest person I know (so is Pam). His mother taught him well. I know from experience this is a tough time for you. Please except my sincere condolences.

Virginia was my beautiful Mother-in-law whom I also consider to be my mom and friend. I was given the blessing of being in her presence for forty two years. She taught me what the true meaning of giving and love is. Her selfless acts of kindness on a daily basis made her a true hero in my eyes. Her wonderful spirit will always be with me. I truly believe that she was an angel on earth. I can only strive to be more like her . She will be dearly miss by me but I know that she will guide me through her gentle whisper always. I love you Virginia. Thank you for giving me your son Denny and your caring throughout the years.
Love,
Pam Huston
