To the O'Quinn Family,
I was very, very saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Virginia. She was a very gentle and kind person. I had the opportunity to see her in her cardiologist's office at her most visits. She and I made such a great connection and we made sure that each of us knew the love we had for one another.
She shared with Dr. Wagner and I many holidays, her delicious pecan turtles or chocolate covered pecans.
She told me at her last visit she didn't know if she would be back to see us, and I guess she had an inkling. I will miss her dearly but she is definitely gone to glory.
May God grant you all peace and comfort knowing she is resting in peace.
Sharon
