I know without a doubt that Virginia has earned her angel wings and her body is all anew. And she's running around looking after everyone. I think about & miss her very much after knowing her for 45 years through Dr. Baucom's office. Hardly did we ever part without a hug. Praying for Bill & family.

Most people dread going to the dentist, but I looked forward to seeing Virginia and catching up with the things going on in her life. I had been thinking of her lately, but had no idea she was ill. I had not been to see Dr Baucom since September . I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady and she will be missed by everyone who knew her

James and Betty Smith

We have been friends and neighbors with Virginia for more than 33 years. We have often seen her in the neighborhood and whenever we visited Dr. Baucom's office. Virginia's hard fought battle was never without a smile and friendly greeting. We will miss her.

We pray that Bill, the children and all of Virginia's family will soon find peace and comfort and that the fond memories will last, always.

Our sincere condolences to Virginias' family. My husband and I have known Virginia since the first day she started with Dr. Baucom. Our daughter and Jennifer went to day care on Old Pineville Rd. in the 80s and early 90s together. We were more than just business we were friends. We just learned of her passing this morning. We will miss that smile she always had when we opened the door to the dental office. But, she is no longer in pain and with her Lord and Savior. Virginia will be greatly missed. We loved her.
