Virginia Wood

Diane, Susanne, & Jim,

I was saddened to hear about the passing of your mother and my long-time friend.  Although we had a long distance between us, we always kept in contact by phone.  Sometimes we talked for more than an hour, reminiscing about our times together and our families.

The four of us, Woody, Don, Virg and I had so many good, happy times together.  Don and I always had such fun times when we were around your mother and dad.  I have so many fond memories of our times together in Japan and Las Vegas - those were the good old days.

More recently - a few years ago - after Woody and Don had passed away - Virg and I had a wonderful reunion at my timeshare in Flagstaff.  Oh, the stories we recounted about all you kids were heartwarming.

A little thing that I'll always remember about your mother was that she hated her hearing aids.  I can now identify with that because I dislike mine, too!

Please accept my very heartfelt condolences at this sad time.  But knowing that Virg lived such a wonderful, full life and brought cheer to me and so many others is a cause for celebrate her life.

Love,
Mother

Susanne, Bill and Family,

We share your deep sorrow over the loss of your Mother.  We never had the opportunity to meet Virginia face to face, but came to know her so well from
the stories you shared over the years.  She was a strong, unique, and “very” entertaining women who cherished her family above everything else. 
She nurtured those gifts in her children and so she continues on in each of you - her legacy and gift to all of us who love you.
Know we keep you in our hearts and prayers.

She was always a lot of fun and will be missed by you kids, especially.  Our prayers are with you...thanks for sending us this information..Jack & Bev

Dear Susanne, Bill and Family,

We were so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing.  Over the years, you and I have so often talked about out Moms and family that I felt like I had gotten to know her.  Now, through your absolutely beautiful tribute to her, I have really gotten to meet Virginia and her wonderful family. 

You all were very "blessed" to have her as your Mother and role model and she was so very "blessed" to have you all as her children.

Our love and thoughts are with you all.

Darleen and Michael

Susanne, I'm so sorry for what you must be feeling to lose your Mom. I hope in quiet moments you'll hear from her. No doubt she had everyone laughing as soon as she got to the other side, and it's heart-warming to know she's with your Dad again. I hope that will sustain you until you see her again because you really haven't lost her. She won't ever be far from such a treasured daughter. You have my warmest hugs and so much love,

Josie

I will remember Virginia as a fun, straight forward and caring person.  
Her voice was so lovely and strong, I regret not hearing her sing enough
at our family gatherings.  I will treasure the times we spent together with
her wonderful children.

My prayers are with you all.

Much love,

Adrienne
