I am one of the many people whose life was touched by "Miss Virginia". I was blessed to know her. She is with Jesus now and rejoicing in His presence. I am sure He is saying, Well done my good and faithful servant.". My prayers and thoughts are with Brother Dan and his family. With much love, Beth Gladden

Virginia has been my sister-in-law since I was 9 years old. She is more like a sister to me. She loved hr Lord Jesus Christ and her husband of 75 years, followed by her 3 daughters and many grandchildren. She had a great skill of sewing and knitting, along with her many other talents. She was a beautiful lady with skin like a baby. She will surely be missed by her family and many friends. My God bring comfort to all the family during this trying time.
Much Love,
Martha Nicholas
