Virginia is gone & we're "All Shook Up", but she is in Heaven and out of pain, and "That's the Way It Is". Rest in peace and say hi to Elvis.

Virginia and Bill became special friends to me after volunteering at the Care Center at then attending the same church as I did. Their sharing of knowledge, time and talents made my workplace very special. They took an interest in my family and stopped at the house several times. I will miss our special visits and know Virginia and Bill are together again!

Virginia was one of the kind. Her and Bill considered me part of the family. What a blessing! I am so grateful and glad I got to know them for many years and gotten to know Virginia more the past few years. I will always remember her kindness to me. Will miss her greatly.
