Virginia was a gracious lady, always ready to encourage and welcome. I am so blessed to be one of many who enjoyed her hospitality–even though I was only passing through. May the God of all comfort provide all her family with all you need in these days of grieving.

My prayers for this family. She was a great testament of God’s Love. Even when in pain she was touching someone going through life.

Virginia fought the good battle against this disease and never gave up. She was happy the last time she visited, even knowing the cancer could come back at any time, as it had done before. I know when Jesus met her he said those words all Christians wish to hear, "Well done good and faithful servant." Cousin Darrell

Virginia came into my life in the sweetest way at the Women’s Community Bible Study @Sheridan House Family Ministries several years ago, and my life has never been the same. Even up to the very end she was so sweet and congenial and demonstrated Her love for God and others in everything she did and said. I treasure my memories of the way she shared her life with me and all the women at Sheridan House who knew her her sweet voice and ready smile. She was a blessing and encouragement to all of us. I can’t wait to see her again in Heaven. What a wonderful race she ran. I pray for God’s rich blessing and the peace that passes all understanding for her dear husband Joe and their entire family.

Virginia, was a Courageous Lady! "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." II Timothy 4:7-8 (KJV) With deepest Condolences to the Roberts family, Michael, Bertha and Family
