Karen and Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers . May she rest in peace and reap the rewards in Heaven for a life well lived.
My sympathy to her family
Bob and Virginia lived next door to us with our two girls when they were little. Bob and Virginia would always talk with our chatter boxes when out in the yard. The Haars always had a beautiful yard and were great neighbors. Please accept our sympathy on the passing of Virginia.
Karen and family,
My deepest sympathies on the passing of Virginia. She was a lovely and gracious woman who will surely reap her rewards in Heaven.
