Dear Betty and Butch, I am so sorry for your loss of your amazing, sweet mother Ginny. She was like family to me and I feel like I knew her most of my life. I had the pleasure of staying with her for a few days in Nov of 2010 during a visit from San Antonio. We had a wonderful time reminiscing about Ruby, my parents and life. She will always be one of my favorite people and I'll treasure our time together always. God Bless you all.

Such a beautiful lady - I remember Virginia and Doyle so well - wonderful people. They were friends of my parents (Ira and Ruth Hammond).
As I visited my mom, Verna Tackett, at the assisted living, I stopped by and told Virgie hello and told her who I was. I named my mom, aunt Lucille and uncle Ervil and she stopped me there as she looked at me with surprise and said,"Why,THAT'S MY PEOPLE!" We both smiled as I told her,"I know!" I could not resist, I stole a kiss on the cheek. Such a sweet lady! Your in my prayers!
Butch, Betty and Entire Family ... My deepest sympathy to you at this time of loss. Aunt Virgie was a pillar of strength and the model of kindness. She always had a beaming smile and nothing but positive words for me and anyone she came in contact with. She will be deeply missed. God Bless y'all!
Dear Butch & Holly and Betty, I am so glad Mama and I were able to be with you guys last Thursday and visit with Virgie one last time. Though we could see the time was drawing near, the finality of this is still difficult to accept. I have enjoyed visiting in the Shackelford home for as long as I can remember and have so many fond memories of those visits. Warm hospitality, late night talks, lots of smiles and laughter, and the best home cooked meals were always a part of the time we spent together ... along with a few joy rides in some antique cars housed downstairs. :-) Aunt Virgie's strength of character, continued physical activity and love of gardening/canning have remained inspirational to me over the years. Today and in the coming days, I will hold you guys close in thought, prayer and especially in my heart. With deepest sympathy and much love,
In Memory of your Mom, Butch. Our time on Earth is short, but your legacy of Love lives on if you are lucky, I am sure your Mom loved you and Holly a Lot!!May God comfort and keep you in your time of loss.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious loved one. My prayers are with you.
Remembering you all in prayer during this difficult time.Daisy Center Bruns(Granddaughter of Lucinda Osburn Doss)
Betty and Butch, I was so saddened to hear of Virgie's passing. She was one of a kind and always brightened up my life when I was with her.
