Working with Virginia at TRW was great. She took a chance on me after I finished my term at Ft. Carson and even though I moved out of the area, It led to a 30 year career in electronics. Thanks Virginia for the opportunity. You won't be forgotten.

My heart goes out to all of Ms. Elam's family. I know she was much loved and respected by her family members. The tribute to her was just beautiful, painting such a picture of a lovely lady and a life well-lived! I worked with Debbie at PPCC for many years, and I know how close this family is, in great part due to Virginia's example and love for her family. I had the pleasure of seeing her at a couple of social events years ago and she occasionally popped in our office at the college. My prayers to the family as each one works through grief.

Words can never express the sorrow I feel for the loss of my dear sister Virginia! I will love her and miss her forever.

As you remember your love one, as God heals your broken hearts (Psalm 147:3), may your cherished memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength to endure.

Virginia was a lovely lady, and we enjoyed her sweet and kind personality so much. She usually had a smile on her face - no matter what she was going through. God's blessings to John and the family as you go through this difficult time.

June 11, 2019

My sincere condolences to the family. May you find comfort in knowing that God collects our tears and is close to the brokenhearted ready to comfort us in our moment of need. Psalm 56:8 May you be sustained by the hope of seeing your loved ones soon as we await the beautiful hope of everlasting life. John 17:3

Mom, I don't know how to live life without you. I can't imagine Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any holiday or birthday without you in it. I know you would want me to carry out your traditions. I will do my best. What will keep me going is knowing that I will see you again one day. Until then, you will be in my heart every day of my life.

You will be greatly missed but never forgotten! No more pain, suffering or sadness. Nothing but beautiful views and reuniting with long lost loved ones. One day we will get to stand next to you once again.

You were a light, in so many eyes.
Mom, your light now twinkles above us. Always you.
