    My condolences to Connie and all the family. Virginia was one of my sister( Mary Lou ) and I's first friends. We lived at 1471 Washington Ave. The house is not there any more. We had much fun on the Ave. Good times. Too bad we had to move away. To be absent form the body is to present with the Lord. So we know where she is now. Grace, Love and Peace. From Kenny Washington and sister Mary Low Cobb ( Washington)
