Dear Cousin Virginia- What a blessed day it was when we bumped in to each other at Costco. Who would have ever guessed the three of us would become so close. You started talking to me and I to you and things just kept coming up, way to many similarities to just be coincidental. I just knew we had to be related and sure enough when I called my Mom she confirmed it-although it was my Dad's side of the family. From then on it was like we had always known each other. Not the "3 Musketeers" but the "3 Cousin's". You were a wonderful person, so friendly and loving, caring and always outgoing. There was a huge empty spot left in our life's when you decided to leave San Diego and go back to Waunakee. You became a part of our life's and will always be in our hearts. We will think of you often.
We Love You Cousin-
Shirley and Vickie

To a sweetest friend I ever saw my mom have. She loved her. I am sorry to be out of state for the funeral. Please know I will always remember her fondly and be thankful for the notes and pictures she sent me after my mom passed. With love, Lori Thomure Hubbard

Linda,
I'm so sorry for your loss and that I was not able to attend your Mom's funeral. I hope that all went well with the ceremonies today. Though my memories of Aunt Virginia are few( just because I was so young) she was part of that great Hurda family clan ( indeed the last of that great generation ). She was a tremendously lucky woman to have won the hearts of not one but two of those Hurda boys. But that says something about her character as well. I know that she will be greatly missed . Know that we grieve with you but trust that she will now be with Jesus and reunited with Irvin and Raymond and the rest of that great Hurda clan.
God Bless you and your family
Greg Hurda and family
