Clifford and Sandy, I worked with Virginia at the C&S Bank in Macon, Georgia, when she was still married to Jim. She was such a sweet lady, and my strongest memory of her is of how much she loved you two and Jim. I am so sorry for your loss.

To Miss Virginia's family...You are all in my thoughts and prayers. She was the sweetest, most precious, most loving lady I've met in a very long time. It was my pleasure to visit with her each and every day I worked. I couldn't help but love her. She will be soo missed.

Miss Virginia as she is known by our family was one of the first ladies to welcome me to Viewpointe as I took on the position of Front Desk Receptionist. Since that day she has been more than a friend and a part of our family. She spoke into my life in many ways and I will remember her sweet smile always and that southern comfort that she brought to many. You are loved and will be missed, "Miss Virginia"!
