My dear Gesela,Eric Chris and extended family,
My heartfelt sympathies to each of you and your families.Virginia still looks as beautiful as the first time I met her in the eary sixties.Gesela,I remember Virginia back then full of fire and fun! She was a big influence on me. I really adored her! I felt like she treated me as her own.I remember she invited me for lunch one day and you were having meatloaf sandwiches with mayo or miracle whip,(I hate both),I said I didn't like Mayo and she said "your going to eat it anyway because I fixed it"...I ate it! Ha!I wasn't going to argue! I hope that the Lord let's us meet again one day and that she's reunited with her past loved ones. Praying that God grant you peace in the days ahead.
Love Always My Friend,
Teresa Workman Zoubovitch

Oh what a fun lady Virginia was! I'll never forget the Spanish lessons, the laughter, the dancing and the chatting we did over the years. Gesela, sorry I couldn't be there. Just know that she is finally at peace. Boys, I haven't seen you two for a very long time but know you are doing fine. Boy, will I miss seeing her when I go back to WV on my visits!
