The family has my deepest sympathy. I graduated with Virginia at Thayer High School in 1956. We had good times as friends and classmates. Virginia was taller than most of the girls in our class, a great friend to have.So sorry for her family, she will be missed.
Patti & family, It was so sad to hear this. I have known and loved your family for a long, long time. I did not make it to the visitation and praying for strength and comfort for all of you tomorrow. I am sure Momma will give her a good tour if Heaven.
