Virginia will be greatly missed by many of us, her friends and former church members. She was a woman of strong conviction and godly faithfulness. She may not have been rich in this world‘s goods, but she was truly rich in the things of the Lord, and will receive amazing and abundant rewards one day in heaven! 

I could always count on Virginia to be there faithfully at church to serve and reach out to others. Her faith and love we’re demonstrated constantly by her sacrifice and willingness to give her time and energy for the work of Christ. As her pastor, she was such a blessing to me for over 11 years as I knew I could always count on her faithfulness, and willingness to serve.

What a blessing to know that she is with our Lord, no longer suffering, and reunited with her husband and family and friends of faith , who passed on before her.

There is no doubt that Jesus Christ was not only her savior, but her Lord and she served him faithfully to the end. He will be greatly missed! Thank you for your example of what it is to be a real Christian. 

We love you!
