Sweet lady. I worked with her and sister at Harris Teeter. Your family are in my prayers
All my love, Check on Amber for me.
Virginia was a very precious lady. I never could remember her name when I first met her she just told me to call her mom. I've been calling her that ever since. To the family I want to express my heart felt condolences.
You will be missed so very much!
I will miss being around such a happy spirit.
I’m so sorry to hear of Virginia’s passing. We went to school together at Drexel. She was a sweet soul. My prayers are with her family and friends
