We are sorry, never knew about Virginia passing until 5/25 when Larry called Henry on Vets. Day like he usually does. Virginia was a beautiful, kind lady, same birthday as Larry, will be remembered by us for her beautiful smile & twinkling eyes. Call Larry when you are up for a visit. Again we are very sorry for your loss.
