Manwell Family,
                our hearts are heavy, our prayers are with you at this very difficult time in life. Virginia will definitely be missed. Her smiling face, her words of wisdom and her compassion that she shared with all of us here at NCSL. She was always joking around with all of us when we bowled and all of us will miss her this upcoming season.

                   MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!
