  1. Virginia was a wonderful person, her love of the Lord showed in the way she treated others. She
    was a member of our church and did what ever she could to help others. I am delighted to have
    called her Friend. God Bless

  2. Virginia was one of the most faithful people I have ever known. She never forgot my birthday and anniversary even after she moved to NJ. She continued to call me and tell me how much our friendship meant to her up right up until the week before she went to be with the Lord. And her faithfulness to the Lord was unmatched; she loved Him and praised Him all the days of her life. Now she is praising her Lord in Heaven!
