We thank Virginia for the memories, her life touched ours and we will never be the same. We are eternally grateful for Virginia's kindness, the "angels," and words of encouragement. We are saddened by the death of Virginia, but as with Norman, we rejoice in and celebrate her life and entrance into the glorious Kingdom of God.

Dale: I was sad to hear that you were dealing with your parents' health challenges as last year ended and the new year began. Being the traditional "holiday season", I'm sure you will remember their passings forever. I hope you also recall happier times while you adjust to life without them. Later this year my wife and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary. Thinking about that usually amazes me then makes me feel old beyond my years. Reading about your parents' 71 years together made me feel like a kid (& a novice at marriage). Best wishes to all of your family as you come together either physically or in spirit to celebrate two long, loving lives.
