Bob & Terri Smith,
When we think of our years coming to visit our family in Tennessee, the love shown to us by Aunt Virginia is at the top of our memories. Letting the children play in the attic, feeding us fresh vegetables, housing us in the attic 46 years ago as newly weds. Always a smile, ” I declare”. We will miss you. Love, Bob, Terri, Natalie and Melanie
Aunt Virginia was the most beautiful, gracious,kind lady I know. Thank you Aunt Virginia for the great memories and loving kindness you have always shared with the Smith side of your Family. We love you and will miss our visits with you.
Mrs Smith always looked so elegant. I remember when she worked at the Style Shop. May she rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss. Ms. Virginia was my life-long neighbor. She was a very sweet, wonderful and caring lady.
