Dear family of Virginia
My condolences on your loss.
I wish to share comfort from the Bible at this sad time.
John 5:28,29 promises a resurrection for those who have fallen asleep in death.
At that future time, Revelation 21:3,4 shows that they will be resurrected unto a paradise earth, free of sickness, pain and suffering.
There is much Bible-based comfort to be found on the website www.jw.org
Sincerely Dianne Mullins

I have many happy memories spending time with Ginny and her siblings. Our parents were long time friends. I remember snowball fights as young elementary age kids.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. She is at peace and hurts no more. May God bless and keep you in this difficult holiday season.

I am so very sorry to hear of Ginny's passing . I met Virgina at a cancer walk in Prairie du Sak a few years ago. My niece, Christine ( Schwartz) Sprecher, introduced us as we all walked the lighted track together. What a sweet lady! Chris has kept me informed on how Ginny was doing and I have kept her in my prayers ever since.
Please know that Ginny was loved by many and was an inspration to us all!
May God bless her soul as she celebrates his Birthday in Heaven this year
In friendship,
