Virginia loved attending church at Beacon Baptist and especially enjoyed the singing. During her lifetime Virginia accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour. This brings great comfort to her family and friends because we know we will see her again in Heaven. “For we walk by faith, not by sight: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:7-8
