We wish we were with you all. How we love your Mama. Her example of Christ, her unconditional love and never ending encouragement and support was so special. There just are not words to express how much we love and miss you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers. The music in heaven got much sweeter, and we will look forward to that great Singing inside Heaven's gates! Can't wait to hear Virginia play again!

Helen and Sally, I was very sad to learn of the passing of your mother. I remember the warmth with which she embraced our family, and I always looked forward so much to seeing all of you. She was such a gifted musician! Please know my prayers are with you as you adjust to life without her. She has run the race and finished the course . . . and we can see her again some day. Blessings to you.

We are so grateful for the time that we have known Virginia. She always had a smile and was always so easy to talk with. She and Ralph seemed to be inseparable so we know they are rejoicing together side by side. We will miss her!

Sending my condolences to your family. While doing ancestry research in 2012 I met Virginia and Ralph, my great uncle. Virginia was an angel gathering information, photos, and answering questions whenever I called. Ralph and I would talk briefly, then Virginia and I would chat as girls do. I will always remember how sweet and helpful she was. She is loved and missed and I take comfort in knowing they are together again. May your memories and the memories of those that loved them bring you comfort and peace.

I am so thankful that I got to know Ralph & Virginia when I did, they were an invaluable resource to me about the history of the farming community in this area and I enjoyed their company so much. Sometimes I just sat in their living room and chatted or looked at pictures, other times we had lunch. A couple of times we went on driving tours, with me asking questions while they would point out areas of interest. I am so sad that we have lost both of them.

Helen & Sally, I send our love and condolences. I met all of you the summer prior to my 7th grade school year at a singing in Springdale. The Squires family has always been near & dear to my family. Your mom was a superior pianist and a true friend. We send our love & prayers and sincere understanding of your loss. She and your dad are together again with Jesus!❣

Helen and Sally, extend my sympathy to you and your family. Your mother, Virginia Squires, was a good friend to my family for many years. We enjoyed attending gospel singings on Sunday afternoon where she would play the piano and we'd lift our voices in song. She taught me how to play southern gospel piano and I have used that knowledge my whole life. I have no doubt but that she is enjoying singing in Heaven with the best choir ever. May God comfort you both and remind you of the reunion that will come later.

You and all the family are in our thoughts and prayers. It takes some time but it does get easier to bear. Just know how free and happy your Mother is right now - that will help!
