Our sympathies to the Iverson family. Virginia was easy to talk to and family was important to her. Over the years she has aged gracefully and was always so appreciative of things others did for her.
RIP Virginia - your life begins anew now.

My deepest sympathy to all of her children. Your Mom was a lovely woman, and we go back a very long time, to when we were both young and working at Illinois Bell in Chicago. I was so sorry when she moved to Wisconsin, as the distance took us away from one another. She's at peace now and free of all pain. Her vision problem was so sad as I remember her when she was a beautiful and avid sewer. May God bless her and keep her.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Virginia was a beautiful lady and a good friend. She dearly loved her family and was very proud of all of them. Her face would light up and she would have a special story to tell you about each loved one. She was a great cook and baker and enjoyed sharing. Always feisty and full of fun. She was a great friend and will be missed. I know she is assigned to an important job in Heaven where she is whole and happy. Until we meet again.
