To the family of Virgil.
We visit Oakhill Cemetery every year before Memorial Day to place flowers on my parents' and grandparents' grave sites. Just yesterday we learned of Virgil's passing. We can only imagine how difficult it is to go on without him. So sorry to hear of your loss. Our sympathies go out to all of you. We will think of Virgil every time we make the annual trip to Oakhill Cemetery that he cared for, so diligently. May your fond and happy memories always bring a smile to your heart.
Sincerely,
Renée and Jerry Ponto

It's a week before memorial day and there is still alot of work to. I always thought it was just cutting grass and digging holes kind of like yard work. I know now that it is much more than that. Your personality is a big part of the job,this is why you were so good at it. I have big shoes to fill. Watch over me.
