PRAYERS FOR HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS 🙏❤️🌻
Our Deepest Sympathy.
I will always remember my childhood memories of going to my aunt Virginia’s house out in the “country”. We grew up in the city so it was always so special to go visit her. I remember being so proud that my aunt owned her own bar and restaurant. I only have fond memories of you Aunt Virginia. I love you and may you rest in everlasting peace. Say hi to my Dad and brother for me. To my cousins I miss you all very much and I’m terribly sorry for your loss. Love, Charles, Breanna, Charlie and Alivia Weible

Sending prayers of comfort during this difficult time.
You ALL are in our thoughts and prayers! We love you! Justin, Jaime, Greyson and Lukas Corso
Virginia was one of the most hard-working women I’ve ever known, but had a heart of gold. She gave me my first payroll job, which I didn’t do so well at age 15. She was like an aunt to my sister and me. Fantastic lady who will be sorely missed. May God grant her eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon her. Amen. “Johnny” Puskar
