I miss you so much. Tiffanie is really having a hard time missing you. We love you so much.

NAMI walk. She did not enjoy walking but she did it 😂

Always so supportive. Matching shirts at pride parade to celebrate my gay. 

Virgie took us to Disneyland to celebrate my masters graduation.

No matter what, you will always be with us. We are so grateful to carry you in our hearts. We will always remember the great memories, and all the laughter we shared together. 

We are forever grateful for your help with Mark’s recovery. Getting ready to celebrate 7 years of sobriety. Thankful for the man he has become. 

Love, 
Mark, Laura, Blake, & Bailey 

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work along side of Virginia.  Virginia mentored people though her life by practicing what she preached -- perhaps the greatest testament of a life of service and a life well lived.  Virginia believed in people and encouraged them to be their best by giving them responsibility and then giving them space and grace to grow into their own potential.  Thank you, Virginia.  You have been a blessing to me and I am grateful to you for the things you taught me through your life.

Words cannot express the impact you have had on my life.  You have been the best friend, leader, and mentor to me and the team.  I miss our talks, the laughter we shared, and seeing your face.  Thank you for inspiring me and believing in me.  I will forever love you and cherish the memories we shared.  Love you Virg, Jessica

If it wasn't for you Virginia. I may have never had the opportunity to save my own life. You believed in me enough to personally pick me up, take me to a program, and watch over me as I travelled the road to sobriety. Thank you Virginia, as you know I'm coming up on 23 years this June.  
You have been a dear friend, not only of my sister but our entire family. From the time we were all youngsters trying to avoid getting in trouble with your Mom, through the days of our Moms working together,  and your lifelong friendship with Tiff.   
I do not know the countless people you have helped through life, but I do know it is many. I personally know of one other including myself that are better because of you. Your huge heart and love of family  made a profound impact on my life and the lives of my entire family. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for your love and kindness.
You hold a special place in my heart and always will. I'm eternally grateful.  I'm positive you are at God's side looking down at us all. You were a Guardian Angel in life and I'm sure you are still one now.
I love you Virginia,  You're definitely one of the good ones, the world is a lesser place without you.

The day she came to see me we had so much fun that day I love you sissy I miss you 😭

Virginia,

You have been absolutely inspirational in my life. You were not only an amazing boss, but a leader who mentored me and your team when we needed direction and support. A true leader who believed in all of us, who gave us the freedom to do our jobs and grow and someone we looked up to. Thank you for loving me, being my work mom and for so much laughter. I will miss our daily talks, our lunches and most importantly seeing your face. I will continue to carry on your legacy. I love you forever. ❤️ Jen

I will always remember my one and only Aunt’s smile and laughter.  I remember riding in the car with her as a kid as she would listen to her music.  She was one of the coolest Aunt’s that I could have ever had.  I love you and know that you are smiling down on us now.
-Charity-

There are so many cherished memories of this beautiful woman it’s hard to choose but I’ll start with the time I had to drive her to baseball in a stick shift , first time ever driving one so it did not go well. There was a lot of stalling, jerking and driving in second gear. When she got out of car she said, “thank God” I’m never driving with you again, don’t come pick me up I’ll find a ride”.  Then there was the time when she lived with me in her 20s that we recreated psycho in the shower. We put ketchup all over her and I , she had a knife and my oldest daughter Charity walked in started screaming and running in place. We were so bad! I love and am going to miss her laughter and her smile. Rest In Peace now beautiful sister!!!!


Awe babe I just can't believe this is happening . We are going to miss you so much.  I know you are in a better place but we didn't have a long enough time We just found each other again we were going to do so many things but it's ok cuz we will see each other in paradise.  We love you babe so so much

Goodbye my friend. I have so many fond memories of you. When I see you in my mind you are laughing. That is how I choose  to remember you. Thanks for being a part of my life. You  made a difference in so many lives including mine. Go rest. You’ve done well.

I love you so much. I’m going to miss you. I promise I’ll take care of Tiffanie. My heart hurts but I know your in a better place. Tell mom and dad I love them. Rest In Peace baby girl. I still can’t believe this is happening. I remember so much about you and Tiffanie when you both were little girls. See you again someday. Love you always Your sister Shawnie.
