Barbara, I don't know if you remember me but I knew you and Bill when we were kids and you lived on Chelsea.  I am so sorry about the loss of your brother.  I remember going to church with you when we were young.  God bless you and your family.  Joyce Crowley Belt

              Gods Garden
       
        God looked around his Garden
          And found an empty place
   Then he looked down upon this earth
           And saw your tired face
    He knew that you were suffering
       He knew you were in pain
    He knew you would never get well
          Upon this earth again
        He put his arms around you
         And lifted you to rest
     God's garden must be beautiful
           He takes only the best.

We will miss you and your sense of humor.

I met Virgil in the middle 90's and we dated and had a wonderful friendship, he was truly a good hearted goodnatured man and I enjoyed him so very much. After he retired from his job, we lost touch and I tried to locate him many times wondering about him. My sincere condolances to his family at this time. So sorry and sad I didn't get to speak with him again over the past few years or so..
RIP Virgil you will never be forgotton by many including me.. Thanks for all of the good special times we shared..

Bill, remembering the good times when I was a little "leak" with the picnics, Thanksgiving dinners, Sunday afternoons after church and you with the way you could make people laugh.

Rest in Peace Virgil, You will be missed.

So long, Virgil.   Hate to see you go, but I'll remember the good times over the past 20-some years. You were always a valued addition to our VFW family. My condolences to your loved ones.

Bill
Will truly be missed. He brought a smile to my day each and everyday at Overland Towers...I knew no matter what kind of day I was having that Bill would come by the office and make me smile. Your family are in my prayers. What a beautiful man Bill was. He enjoyed and loved life, we should all enjoy life because we never know when our last day is. God Bless you Bill.
