It was such a joy to care for your mother. She was always so kind and gracious even when her health circumstances were adverse. It warmed my heart to see how her family gathered around her to provide support and care; I could feel the love and positive regard you all had for one another. Wanda, you have also given me the gift of a story and practical startegy for sopping up weepy legs and getting the fluid out. My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Audrey, Care Transitions Program
We were very sorry to read that Virginia had passed. We keep you in our thoughts as family and close friends deal with the grief. We will remember her as a gentle soul with a warm and loving smile.
We shall miss Ginny ... she has been a part of our lives for almost 50 years. Our first little home was in the upstairs apartment in the house where she and Jerry lived.
We always visited with them each year when were in Rochester ... she always had cookies and coffee to share . We enjoyed her so much. She was so beautiful and had a smile that would light up the room.
We know that she is in Heaven now with the ones that she loved, and we look foreward to seeing her again someday when we are all reunited in Christ.
We send our love to all the family. We are sorry that we can not be there to share hugs and memories.
Mauna, and Fred
Wanda: Sorry about your loss our prayers will be with you and your family.
