We graduated together lived close together when we were raising our children in East Moline.We both went through lost of love ones and over time we were distance from each other but thought of you often, Virginia in Texas and myself in California.. God always gives us memories and I´m so grateful I have them of Virginia. May you Rest In Peace.
