We feel so sad to lose Virgie. She has been such a big part of our lives for 12 years. We enjoyed her in our Sunday School class, sang with her in choir and she loved the senior choir also. We loved her dearly. She loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ so much that she recently re-dedicated her life to him and was re-baptized. We are unable to drive to Palatka today for the funeral because of health reasons, but our hearts are there. Maybe a memorial could be at her church she loved so much with all of her friends here at First Baptist Church of Daytona Beach. We feel such a heavy loss of our sweet Virgie. Please let her husband know how we will miss her and he is welcome in our class at First Baptist any time.
