Virginia was my older sister by 12 years. I have fond memories of her taking me places when I was a small child in San Antonio. He took me to the movies downtown, shopping, bought me toys and books, and we walked on the Riverwalk. By the time I was 10 years of age she had moved to Massachusetts to live with her sister MaryJane, met Bill Reno, married him and had a family. She and her family came to San Antonio a few times over the years and also for our mother’s funeral. When I was discharged from the army at Ft. Dix, New Jersey I stopped to see her and her family in 1965. She loved me and I loved her. I remember her as a happy person, a kind person, and a woman of great faith in Jesus Christ and the restored gospel in our time on earth. She is at peace now, free of the pains of mortality and has rejoined her ancestors in the world of the spirits. I will see her again there.
Sincerest condolences to Virginia’s family for their loss. May the loving and fond memories of your dear loved one and knowing that Families are Forever bring you comfort. Hugs
