Al, Sally, Grant and Sandy–
We are so sorry for your loss. Virginia was truly a special lady and such a part of our lives for so many years.
So many wonderful memories of her and her Mom while we lived on South Gamble and Auburn Avenue.
May she rest in peace.
Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Virginia was one of my 1952 classmates. She always had a smile on her face and she was always a pleasure to talked to. I never saw Virginia after graduations. But several times over the years I have thought about her. God Bless your soul Virginia. Paul

“Ginnie” she told me is what her friends call her. I knew her as a kind and caring neighbor for a year. She so loved her cats. She even helped me with a stray cat. I enjoyed her company and though we parted ways do to my leaving Shelby without saying goodbye, I say goodbye now Virginia and God Bless you.
So sorry to hear of Ginny’s passing. I always enjoyed working with her at the
Business Forms.
