Dear Family….We had the privilege of meeting Virginia around 8 years ago when we began a ministry on the 3rd floor of St. Joseph’s. Each Friday we meet with the residents, play BINGO and then share a some scriptures and sing. Your mother quickly became a precious part of our ministry. It didn’t take long to see that she had been a hard worker who was dedicated to her faith and family. We loved her determined spirit and the fact that she found joy in small things…..stuffed animals, outlandish glasses and necklaces and silly headbands. When we shopped for BINGO prizes we would see something and think….Virginia will like this! She listened intently to the Word and sang those beloved hymns. We could see that she was failing as she struggled to do what had once came easy for her. We rejoice for what she is now experiencing in her heavenly home and pray for the loved ones she leaves behind. She will forever remain a precious memory in our lives. Pastor Ed and Janet McDaniels
