Virginia was a real lady. She was a blessing to us in Shepherd Bible Church and seemed like she had been there forever. Thank you to the family for sharing her with us.

Grandma was so fun and generous. Taking us to Elitches as kids (with a bag of Pepsi cans to get a discount), garage saling on the weekends, and cuddling when we were sad or scared are some of the best memories of her. We love you, Grandma

Oh mercy, Virginia was well known and loved at Bear Valley Church in Lakewood, Colorado during my years as pastor there. She was active in our seniors groups and was a blessing to many! And now she is home with God... to the family I am sorry for your loss, but to her, she has gone to her reward.

I first met Virginia when I had my office at the Conservative Baptist Assn building on W Mineral Ave in Littleton. She also attended Bear Valley Church where my husband was the missions pastor for many years. We have such fond memories of her, such a wonderful, loving, caring woman. You were all blessed to have her in your family. We miss her, but happy she is now with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Be comforted by all your sweet memories of her. We loved her.
