I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of "Renfroe" as both of my children called your mother. She was their first babysitter-not just a babysitter-but so much more. She was more like a grandmother to both of them and I know that they loved her so much. I was blessed to have your mother as a caregiver for my children and I will always remember her loving and faithful service to them. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers and I pray for God's grace and peace to surround you during this difficult time.

Dear John, Brenda, Barbara, James,
I am so very very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was a very important part of our family for a long time. You all have always remained in our thoughts and prayers since we moved away. John we had some fun times working together. Brenda it was you who brought our family together with yours when you had your mother take over our babysitting. Today when John called and talked to Britty, he said he looked in Virginia's bible and found a picture of Scott. Whenever we past through Hopewell we would stop and visit. The year Scott graduated from Marine basic training we stopped and had him knock on the door and she had no clue who he was and then out of the blue, she knew. We lost Jim to cancer 7 years ago so we haven't gotten down that way lately. Your mom will remain in a special part in our hearts as will you all. I wish we could come down to the service but we can't. We all send our love and thoughts and prayers to you all. May Virginia rest now in peace with her husband and the Lord she loved so dearly.
Love,
Laura, Scott, Chris and Brittany Everett
