Mitchell and family,
Kim and I are grieved for you all in your loss of Virginia. She and Press were such kind and loving people. They were always so kind and concerned about my dad, Harold Addison Williams. They are missed. May God cradle you all in His loving arms in your grief now and in the days to come. We love you. Kim and Bruce Williams
One of you caregivers
I just found out about Virginia’s passing. She and my late mother were friends and my mom was always talking about talking and visiting with Virginia. My mom also played the piano at church so they had a lot in common. Sending prayers for the family. Virginia was a fine person.
