    • Thank you for this sweet note. I love hearing how talented and wonderful she was.

      Warmly,
      Erin Gray (granddaughter)

  1. Virginia was the best neighbor in all of Laurel Creek back in the day.
    A most fearless woman if there ever was one.

  2. It’s hard to put into words how special Virginia was. I first came to know her when she needed help cleaning her home. I was glad to do that for her. After she moved into Harmony, we remained friends and I enjoyed taking her to her doctor visits and sitting with her in her room. We have so many sweet memories together. She was such a smart lady and very kind! I love her and will miss her dearly❤️
