    Family of Virginia,

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Virginia. I had the pleasure of knowing her and Rex for many years throughout the years Burlington was operating here in Monticello. She was such a kind soul. The last time I talked to her she was working at the older DG. It was always good to talk to her she always mentioned her family in our conversations. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Sincerely,
    Sharon

    As I sit here and think about this sweet soul, Aunt Virginia, I know she is rejoicing in heaven. I know it is never easy to let them go. I will lift you all up in prayer and continue to pray for you all in the coming days. Some of my best childhood memories were spent with sleepovers at y’all’s house. So many memories of days gone by. Always remember to lean on God. I love you all!
