It doesn't seem possible that you have been gone for three years, Virginia! We still miss you greatly! We still tell "Virginia Stories," and are still facinated with your writing skills. Not only did you create special writings, you wrote them in such perfect handwriting! You will never be replaced in our hearts and memories. We love you dearly!

Your Nelson Family still misses you tremendously!

In the Love of Jesus,
Kathy, Lee and Family

I simply cannot believe Virginia has been in her Heavenly Home for a year already!  It was a tough loss for us and we still feel the loss as though it just happened.  Virginia, we will always remember you with love and with a smile!  We were blessed to know you!  We miss you, Virginia!
Love,
Kathy and Lee Thibodeaux

Ms. Puerta (Virginia) was my first grade teacher.  Thirty years later, I  was thrilled when my son Josh was assigned to her class!  She was awesome.   So kind to all the kids and such a wonderful teacher and person.  She certainly made an impact on the world.  

I had the privilege of being a student in Ms Virginia’s Sunday school class at Pine Grove and then got to meet her again when we joined Houston River.  Her love overflowed while in her presence and you knew you had been embraced by that love with each encounter.  

What a beautiful person heaven gained!  
Ms Virginia (Sip) was the finest example of a Christian woman.  I will never forget her kindness or any of her beautiful family. 

May God bless her soul and be with her family during this time of grief.   She is at peace; May her family rejoice and experience  the joy  she would want them to feel. 

As a past student of Ms. Dunham’s at A A Nelson Elementary, I have many great memories with Ms.Dunham.  I mention one when I was learning to write.  First let me say, I still do not stay between the lines.  Ok now, My parents did not know I was left handed yet nor did Ms. Dunham.  Needless to say, I turned out to be left handed and I still do not stay between the lines.  I am very thankful for Ms. Dunham and all the staff of A A Nelson.  Definitely, she left a great impression on me that has stuck with me. 

Thank you, 

Ms. Dunham

A thoughtful deed, a kind word, a sunny smile, a warm hug, a cheerful greeting....things I will remember and treasure about my friend Virginia.  She lived a long, good Christian life, a pattern for those who follow. Her sister Catherine was my college pal, so I first met Virginia a long time  ago. Our lives touched again when I started playing the piano for the Pine Grove Singers, a blessing for which I will be forever grateful.  Oh, how we will miss her, but rejoice she is Home with our Savior. I can only imagine the jubilant greetings from family and friends who have gone before! My love, prayers, and sympathy to Virginia’s family and extended family, whom she loved. May God comfort and bless you!

Virginia is one of those special people you feel like you have known all your life.  She will always be a treasured friend.  She was sweet, kind and loving.  She loved her family and friends dearly.  She loved her students and called them "my kids."  My daughter still has a very special place in her heart for her first grade teacher, Mrs. Dunham.  Virginia loved her God and Savior Jesus Christ and her church families.  She treasured her time singing in the choir and will long be remembered by all her friends and families.  Virginia dedicated much of her time to writing wonderful notes to people, often just because.  They became special mementos and keepsakes for most of us.  She even left behind books she created for her family with stories and pictures.  She also did kind things for others.  

There are so many of us, my whole family included, who were touched in a special way by Virginia's loving spirit.  We will miss her greatly and pray that all of us who carry a part of her within us will keep her alive through stories and memories shared.  Virginia was so sweet and gentle, one would never have known what a fighter she was when it came to her health!  She wanted to live, but at the same time she always wanted to be ready for Heaven!  And we all know she was!  Virginia has seen the Face of God and now sings in His Heavenly Choir.  Her heavenly body is whole and strong.  She took our love with her and we will carry her love within us as long as we live!   

We may not be able to be there physically, but we are there in spirit, uplifting your family!

With all our love, Kathy and Lee Thibodeaux and family

John and Heather and the rest of the family, Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.  I am going to miss Virginia’s wisdom , caring nature and love for others. She has left an imprint on my life and I will treasure her friendship forever.  Love to everyone.
