Virginia was a treasured part of my growing-up years. She modeled so many attributes of a lovely godly woman...a love for her husband, a love for children and sharing the "good news" with them, a ready smile and enthusiasm...so many great memories. But one particular memory is dearest to my heart. At Bethany Chapel on a Sunday morning during my early teen years, Pastor Schoch asked anyone needing something from the Lord to come forward. I was struggling with issues that felt overwhelming to my young heart, and I responded, kneeling at the altar. Virginia came, knelt beside me and began to pray. Her words came straight from the Holy Spirit, and went straight to the heart of my need. One of the statements she made went something like this: "You know the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter, and He wants to be a comforter for you, like a blanket wrapped around you providing warmth and peace." Never before or after have I heard the Holy Spirit described as a "blanket," but He has been that and much more to me all these many years. Thank you, Virgina, for caring for me and many others, and for being willing to speak the Lord's words to our needy hearts.
