I am sorry to hear of Virginia’s passing. I enjoyed getting to know her at Bible studies at St. Paul a few years ago and have missed her and prayed for her and Tom since. God bless your family.
We were sorry to hear of Virginia’s passing, and earlier of Tommy’s. It is hard to have them both pass so close together. They were such a respected and loved Eudora couple and will be missed by many. Sending thoughts and prayers your way as you go through this difficult time.
Dear Roma, Carol and Mike,
I am so sorry for your loss. But am happy for Virginia to be reunited with her Tommy. Seems they were always meant to be together. We will be there
Saturday. Love, Aileen
We are so sorry to hear of your loss.May God be with you at this time. The Breithaupt’s Delbert, Lois, Ann and Delbert Jr.
