Sending prayers to your family. I only knew your family for a short period of time but your family stole my heart. Your mother was the sweetest woman. I was just the phlebotomist that came to take her blood. She never one time complained. It would make my day when i would stop by to say hello and she would look up at me with those beautiful big eyes. She was such a strong beautiful soul inside and out. I went by her today and i cried like a baby. God gained an amazing angel and your family gained an amazing Guardian Angel!!! Fly high Virginia you will never know the affect you had on me!!! I thank God for the amount of time i did have with you.
