Our prayers are with her family.
Much 💗.
Jody and family, I’m so sorry that you’ve lost your mother, mother-in-law, grandmother. I’m so surprised because she was so active and strong. I visited Virginia and her lovely home place several times. She was a lovely lady and a gracious hostess. Daddy loved Hazel’s sisters and their families!
My condolences to you all in the passing of Virginia. We all will miss her, but will remember her for her wonderful, homemade pimento cheese, her delicious cakes, and for the big heart she possessed. May God give you comfort and strength during this grievous time. You are in my prayers.
Always a lovely and friendly lady! May God bless each family member.
Jody, Melva, and family, May God grant you peace and sustain you during this time of sorrow.
We were so sorry to hear of Mrs Virginia’s passing. We will be praying that our LORD will comfort your hearts.
In CHRIST,
I remember going with Mama down to her house when I was young. I was blessed to wear beautiful clothes she made. It was exciting to see what she could make! Mama thought a lot of Virginia and I did too.
