West Virginia


My dear Aunt Virginia (aka "West" Virginia, as I called her when I was little...that came from dad playing and singing John Denver's Country Roads on his guitar) passed away Thursday night, after a 4 year battle with cancer. She fought for these last 4 years of time with her family and her faith and strength has been an inspiration to so many. It's hard to imagine this world without her in it...I have always admired her so much. She was such a strong, independent woman with so many interests and hobbies and she will be greatly missed. My sweet Uncle Jack has been there every step of the way on this journey and has been an amazing caregiver throughout her battle. Please keep him in your prayers in the days ahead...
