Dear Rick, Dave, Scott and family,
I was so very sorry to learn about Virginia. So glad I was able to see her last November. There are so many fond memories I have growing up and trick or treating at the Rouse home was the best because your mom made the best toffee candy. Thinking of all of you during this time and hoping you find comfort in the fond memories of your mom. Virginia was a wonderful, loving person.
Love,
Linda

We want to send our condolence in the sad passing of your loved one. We met Virginia and Cecil at the Fort Myers RV Resort and enjoyed many fun evening in the park rec. hall. Most memorial is Virginia&s Onion Casserole that she would bring to all of the Carry-ins. I ask for the recipe but was never able to make it like she did.
And we always loved the way she loved her Purdue Boilermakers.
Always a joy to be around and so friendly with everyone.
