Virginia was one of the first friends that I made when my husband and I moved to Harrisonburg. (Mr. Ware and Mrs. Ware--you may remember my husband, Aaron. He was the minister at Discovery Christian Church.) Virginia was such a sweet person who was always willing to do anything for anyone. I was looking through my scrapbooks last night at photos of her--she adored my daughter, Annagrace and I have several pictures of her and them together and Virginia always has such a big smile on her face. I have a lot of fond memories of Virginia. She will be greatly missed. I can't express how devastated I am and I will continue to pray for you, her family, as you try to find peace in this awful situation. I am comforted in knowing that I will see her again one day. God bless, Laura Saufley Laura Saufley 2009-09-10 05:42:53

Symnpathy To Virginia Ware's Family I am very sorry about the death of Virginia. She was a lovely young lady. She was friendly and helpful. She enjoyed the pears from my pear tree in Dayton.

I'm so broken at the loss of Virginia. She was one of the first people we befriended when my wife and I moved back to Harrisonburg. She was one of the first people to join the church we started, and one of the first people to become a Christian in our church. As my wife's comment already states, she was such a kind person with such a big heart for people. She loved our oldest daughter, and made sure to visit when our second daughter was born. We will miss her greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family an friends. Aaron Saufley 2009-09-10 08:43:49

I went to school with Virginia for many years. We graduated together. She was always a kind person and I remember her working at the hospital when I had my first child. Although we weren't close, I felt a terrible sadness to hear of her passing. My prayers are with her family and hope that they can find some comfort knowing she is in a better place.
