Lt Krob, We are praying for you and your family. “The Guys” Burton Fire District
Virginia’s strength of spirit always impressed me. She was strong for her family whom she loved and especially grandchildren whom she adored. I know this through our many conversations at ACT where we worked together for years. I was blessed to have experienced first hand how much positive energy Virginia brought with her to work each day. When we had assembly projects, it was, “Where’s Virginia? We need her.” Packing lines? “…we need Virginia…” She was an important member of an honorable team of employees and was greatly missed when she did leave the company a few years ago. I appreciated how much she shared her creativity and sewing skills with us. When I retired, despite being ill, Virginia attended the party and gave me a set of towels that she had personally embroidered with the days of the week. I initially put them in a drawer for safe-keeping. I brought them out some months ago so that I could think of Virginia as I used each day’s towel and be reminded of the many blessings she brought into my life. I will miss her terribly. My deepest sympathy to Virginia’s family.
John and family – Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Sorry we are out of town and unable to attend the service. We’ll see you when we get back. Darrell and Donna
John and family Wanted to send my sympathy to all of you. Ginny was ALWAYS one of my favorite relatives. She was so easy to talk to, even when I was a little kid and we were all at the cabin or at Franks house. We had a great talk the last time I seen her. She will be greatly missed by all of us. Thinking of all of you, Nancy Welsh
John and family, I’m so sorry to hear of Ginny’s passing. She was an incredibly special woman and I’ll treasure my memories of her forever. Certainly the best godmother I could have dreamed of. My thoughts and love are with you all. Amy
