We were so sorry to hear about Virgil's passing. He loved the Lord and being involved in the Lord's work. When I served as his pastor, he was always a great supporter and encourager to me.

I was so saddened to hear of Virgil's passing. Sincere condolences for Doris and all of family! Always loved being around Virgil and Doris. I had been to see him some in the last few months. I would have gone to service but I was out of town for Thanksgiving. Julie Comstock, CNA at RiverLodge
