I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Virginia when I was a little girl at the Salvation Army and she was always so sweet. Even after I grew up and ran into her in town, she was still the sweetest lady. I will always have good memories of her and will miss her deeply. She was like family to me when I was a child at the church. I will be thinking of the entire family at this time of sorrow. My mother(Jerry Harris) would like to say how sorry she is for your loss. She talked to Virginia alot at the church when she was the cook. She will miss her also. Our prayers are with you.

I signed the physical Guest Book at the funeral and talked to most of the family at the luncheon at The Salvation Army, but I want to say again how I appreciate your Loss. Virginia was a GREAT lady was very helpful to us when we were stationed there 25+ years ago. We loved her and appreciated her faithfulness and look forward to meeting up with her again in Glory.

God bless you all and make sure you are prepared, so that you can see her again some day.

With love to all. Major Nellie and Tom Sillanpa
