She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.
Proverbs 31: 25-29
We are thankful to God for the life of Aunt Virginia. Her love for Jesus impacted our lives in ways that are eternal. We are covering Uncle Jim and all the family with prayers. We will miss your smile. But we will see you soon!
Love and prayers,
Gigi, Reggie, Aimee and Donald

Sister Virginia was the first person to meet me and my son at the altar and pray for us the very first night we went to Maranatha 16 years ago. She then brought Pastor Wright over to pray and they have been dear to us ever since. Being under their ministry changed our lives forever. None of us know the sacrifices either made to share God's Word to this day. Sister Virginia never failed to encourage and pray for anyone who reached out and regardless of how long her day had been or her own worries or troubles she never failed to declare the faithfulness and goodness of God. May the God of all comfort wrap His mighty arms around this family, bind up the broken hearts and give them His peace which passes our understanding. She is with the King of Glory that she so eloquently honored with her life.

I love you Sister Virginia and I wish I could be half the wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and servant you were here on earth. Prayers for the family and all who loved her because she is at peace with the Lord today and it is those left to mourn the loss of her presence who need prayers for comfort. Pastor Wright and Sister Virginia have done more to help my family than they will ever know.

Ms. Virginia, I loved to watch you worship the Lord. You inspired me with your walk not just your words. You were a true jewel and someone who prayed for me with your anointed hands which sent warmth through out my body. I loved you and respected you as a woman of faith. My prayers for those you left but someday in that place we can only imagine we will see you again. Thank you for leading me to Jesus with your sweet voice.

Virginia Ruth was the warrior's warrior who taught so many ladies, just as scripture prescribed. Through her words, her teaching, and her life as an example she has helped the Lord to raise up other warrior women. She was a jewel, the precious pearl who found her only true loves, Jesus and her husband. I neither have the vocabulary or intelligence to ascribe the worth of such a woman of God. Just know she is loved and will be missed by dozens, hundreds, thousands, and by me. I will be praying for her family.

Virginia was a wonderful, loving woman. She will always be part of my memories. My father and mother, Joe and Carol Burgess started taking me and my sisters to their church when i was very young. I grew up with the "Wrights" in my life. A very positive influence. I will miss her so much, and my heart goes out to her family...i loved her and i am so very sorry..."Debra (Burgess) McCune".

May The Lord Bless Thee and Keep Thee and may His Face Shine Upon Thee! She lived for the life she now has. The footprints of her journey will remain for those to cherish and to embrace as we remember her as a soldier for The Lord in every aspect of her life. It was an honor to know her, serve with her and learn from her. Love and prayers to the family!

Sister Virginia was a loving, amazing lady. The times we spoke she took time with me, and I saw Jesus love in her. She was always very kind. This news breaks my heart for Pastor. We send our love and our prayers. I imagine this will be a very hard time for all her family. The blessed hope shall keep us...one day soon we will all be together with our loved ones, worshiping our wonderful Lord Jesus. I pray the time you are apart will go by quickly, Pastor.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. We have thought of y'all so often through the years, and how you got us started in our relation ship with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ many many years ago (in the 1980's!) We will always be grateful to you for that. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you right now, but we are so thankful for that blessed hope, that we will be reunited with our loved ones again. Our thoughts and prayers and sympathies are with you. All our love, Clif and Lisa

I love her more than words can express and I will miss her greatly. I knew her 35 years and that just isn't long enough. She has been a second mother to me and I have loved her as such. It's been a great honor and privilege to have known her, spent time with her, and to have learned what a Godly woman is from her. She has been a precious jewel in my life. I will miss her gentle hugs most of all and the loving smile she always gave me. Heaven has been greatly blessed to have received her. I pray the Lord will pour out all the prayers she has prayed, throughout her lifetime. May we all see the manifestation of it. In Jesus name Amen
