Sending my heart felt sympathy as you make the final arrangements for your dear mother. My Mom (Lucille Morlan) was very fond of Virginia. They were good buddies for many years. She is not able to attend the memorial services but will be thinking of you. She was part of the Reelsville we all grew up with. Cheryl (Morlan) Steuerwald
