Scanning through obituaries today (12-16-22), I discovered Virginia had passed in OCTOBER! I am so sorry. I’m sure she’s in heaven with many family, friends, former neighbors… church family, etc. She certainly gave life a “good run!” Just think of the joy she is experiencing now for ETERNITY!! I suggest reading about heaven in 2 books of the same name, Revealing Heaven An Eyewitness Account, by Kat Kerr. It brings joy knowing some of the WONDERFUL THINGS GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DEVELOPED A CLOSE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM! Katt was commissioned to make trips in the spirit to heaven (like others in the Bible) & come back to tell people about things in Heaven. He wants people to know heaven is NOT a boring place! I found it very comforting after mom’s passing and other close friends. It’s truly encouraging!! Again, so sorry for your loss (but Heaven’s gain). She’s truly celebrating now!!
