Lynne Guick - Florida: Maureen, Jim and family. You're in my thought and prayers at this time.  May you find comfort knowing others are thinking of you.

Sandra Hamon - Moose Jaw, SK: Virginia was one of my favorite people. She was kind, humble and so easy to get along with. I always enjoyed our many trips to Regina together, and she even forgave me when I slid in the ditch last winter! (we only waited 10 minutes for the tow truck) I loved her, and will miss her dearly. French Onion soup at the Spa will never be the same! I take great comfort in knowing that she is now safely tucked in God's memory. Sleep peacefully, my dear sister in faith.

Lenard & Jeanette Crittenden - Moose Jaw, SK: Virginia was a very special lady and was loved by all who knew her.  She always showed a keen interest in everything around her, especially in what the Bible holds out for mankind.  She was a very special friend of our family and will be missed.

Charisse Lee - New Orleans, Louisiana: My prayers and thoughts are with you, Jennifer and your family at this difficult time.  May your many wonderful memories carry you through. 

Don & Elaine Winkler - Moose Jaw, SK: A very gentle and kind lady has now gone to her rest. Elaine & I would like to offer our sympathies to all her family and friends.

Doreen Pchajek - Ste. Anne, MB: I have known Virginia for many years...ever since I was a little girl. She was always very kind, thoughtful, warm & loving. She may have been my sister's mother-in-law but she felt like family to me. I don't ever remember seeing Virginia angry...I'm sure that she must have been sometimes but mostly I remember her big smile and her hugs. I will definitely miss her, but I will always remember her. My thoughts are with you at this time Jim, Moe, Mom, John, Jenny& Conrade. May your fond memories help you through this difficult time.

Mauro and family - Regina, SK:  We remember with fondness the first time we met Virginia. She was warm and friendly and welcoming. We always felt included with her and her family. We will miss her thoughtfulness and her warm hugs. Jim and Maureen, Jenny, John and Troy, Please know we are thinking of you and wishing you peace and healing. Love the Mauro family.

Makayla Mauro and family - Regina, SK:  GG I loved you so much, and I miss you. I hope you are playing with the angel animals in heaven. My hamster Boots is there too, and would love to be with you. I will meet you again in heaven's garden someday too. Love Makayla

Sheryl Boen - N. Vancouver, BC: My husband Greg and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all the family.  Virginia was my friend for over 25 years and we had some wonderful times together when she visited us in Vancouver.  Virginia's love for her God Jehovah was constant and her hope of living on the Paradise earth was unwavering.  What a joy it will be to see her again and then our mourning will be changed into dancing. (Psalms 30:11)  With Our Love Greg and Sheryl Boen(Adams)

Shiela & Garner Mitchell - Regina, SK: Jim, Mo and family... we will miss her too. There will be many times that I will feel the pull to come and visit and go to the Spa with Aunt Virg. There have been so many wonderful warm and happy times, I will cherish her memory always.
