Hello Dennis, Randy & families~
Virginia was my very dear Godmother. I was so sad to hear of her passing. She was such a sweet person, and she left a wonderful fingerprint on my childhood, as i spent weekends & summer visits with her & John in Cannon Falls. I remember her teaching me to make different kinds of cookies, attempting to teach me how to knit, and taking me to church. She sparked my young mind to remember God in everything. John taught me to play cards & i loved exploring the big barn on their little farm. I have very fond, warm memories of them both. She always remembered me with letters & cards & made me feel special. I am sorry for your loss as i am sure they are both greatly missed. SO blessed are all that knew them! Now they are together again in heaven... healthy, whole & waiting patiently to see you all again.

Hello Randy & Dennis~
My name is Jenni. I lived with Virginia & John back in 1991. I was going to college in RedWing @ the time. My sister Kim is their Godchild. I was sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to you & your families. She was a wonderful lady & I will forever have great memories of how she & your dad opened there home to a young girl just starting out. They included me with family dinners & any holiday if I was around. I even remember going to your home Randy, to swim in your pool!
It was quite some time ago.... but I will always remember those times. I also remember it was the time of the Dessert storm war..... Jonh, Virginia & I sat together in their livingroom & watch the T. V. coverage..... we even prayed together!
I am sad that we missed the funeral.... had we known, Kimmy & I would have been there.
God bless you & may you find peace knowing that both your parents are together again having CHRISTMAS with Jesus!
Sincerely, Jenni Weese
