We are so sorry for your loss. Ms Virginia was such a sweet friend to my Mother, Martha Phillips, when they were residents at Atria Copeland. My Mother passed away on Sunday May 14th - so they're together again in Heaven. No doubt Ms Virginia is dancing there! She was a delightful, caring individual - it was a pleasure to call her friend!
With deepest sympathy

Ms. Virginia was, without a doubt, one of the most precious souls we have ever met. We have so many fond memories of her and Bob as neighbors on Silverwood Street in Chandler. Blessed to have known them both! I know there is a very happy couple in Heaven; together once again! Our condolences are with your family.
God Bless,
The Essary's
