Your mom was such a very gracious and beautiful lady. We're glad that we had several occasions to be with her, because you were thoughtful to bring her. You and your brothers were so fortunate to have had your precious mother for her 92 years. Yes, she will be terribly missed because you were a part of her physically and emotionally. Cherish her loving memories that will be with you, always.

Ms Virginia was a beautiful, sweet lady that will be missed. She always had tasty treats when we were growing up. We had great times as kids our mom's always keeping us straight. Mind your manners, don't talk back. I think they did a great job. We turned out fine, thanks to our mom's. Thanks Ms Virginia â¤â¤â¤
