Martha, I scan obituaries for a reason--possible connections! I knew Virginia was a nurse but knew you better from 4-H, piano, and riding the school bus. You have my sympathy and prayers, remembering your loss.

Our sympathy to you. My Dad, Luther, passed away January 4th of this year--I only had phone number for Ginny at that time and asked her to let Virginia know. Luke and Lee were great assets to our family tree and Virginia and Ginny were always so wonderful.

Tom, Ginny and Families: We are in Colorado visiting family and just learned of Virginia's passing. She was so kind to us during the Norden Singers days.The Christmas programs and Smorgusboards were such special times. Ruth and Harold thought the world of Luke and Virginia. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Gary & Linda Ordway
