You have my deepest sympathy. Wanda you and your family are in my prayers. I loved Virginia like a grandmother and will remember her fondly. Every time I walked in her room I would say "Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus" and she would smile up at me. Those are the type of memories we should all cherish to keep her near to us. Love, Erika and Laurie and the animals(Kandi,Angel,Felix, and Buster)

Wanda,
You have my sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mom. I have very fond memories of her.....as we used to ride our ponies at your farm! My memories of her include her beautiful flowers - and it seemed to me that she was always working away in the kitchen! What a great mom you had! I have lived in Ohio for many years...my mom called to tell me of this news. Love,
Kathie
