Diane & family, Eugene & family. May your mom rest in piece. To auntie I will always remember Sunday night visits to watch bonanza, your big rubber tree in the living room, the sleepovers with Diane and your help with mom after dad passed. May you rejoice with your family in heaven. Love you.

My sincerest sympathies to Diane and the family and friends of Virginia. I knew Virginia through working at the hospital. When a person met Virginia, a person always met a woman with a warm, cheery smile, friendly words and warmth. Such a wonderful woman.
