  1. Virginia was the best neighbor ever. Her smile and laughter will forever be part of our best memories of Pope Street

  2. I just learned of your mother’s passing. She was a remarkable lady. Always a smile and gifted me many a day with baked goodies on my mail route. She was a sweet heart and so lucky to have known her. So sorry for your loss. You have been blessed having Virginia for a mom. Love to you all, Julie Johnston
