I was new to Circular Church when one Sunday I found myself sitting behind Virlett and Mary, watching Jennifer Wicker carrying on a lively conversation with them. I felt envious and wondered how I could get to be on such friendly terms with them myself. Next Sunday I sat down beside them and introduced myself, and they could not have been more warm and gracious. (I say "they" because it's still hard to imagine one without the other.) I know that Virlett had a vivid life before she retired to Charleston, working and attending Riverside Church in NY City where she taught Sunday School and had the privilege of hearing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. address the congregation. (I hope I've got the facts right!) I had the greatest respect for Virlett, a modest woman of accomplishment and independent spirit. I will miss seeing her at Circular.

Knowing Virlett and Mary through Circular Church for twenty years, I will feel something is amiss without Virlett's sweet smile and pure light of kindness gracing the sanctuary. I will never forget you, Virlett. Kitty Fahey
