Dear Girls & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Varina. She was a really sweet and kind person and she certainly will be missed by all who knew her.
I remember so well all the good old "Rebel" days and all the good times we had with her and Johnny. I am sure you all have heard many of the old stories of the games.
I will be thinking of you all with the fondest memories of your parents.
