Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Judy, I am sorry that I am unable to attend your Mother’s service. For so many years I would run into your parents but have lost contact in recent years. She was always a special person and I enjoyed seeing her. We are in the process of contacting our ’58 classmates and I don’t think we have your current address. I would appreciate it if you would send it to me. My e-mail address is twoninea@aol. Carol Allen
Mrs Goss has always been a most pleasant and agreeable lady. To have enjoyed being acquainted with her and her husband these many years has been a jolly and now, sadly, respectful experience.
Nancy Goss and I went to Riverside, John Marshall and North together. I remember many times playing at the Goss home…the one near the Girl Scout ‘Little House’. Classmates living on the same block as the Goss were Sammy Sapp, Christie Karlowski and Gayle Ware (K). Virginia was always dressed so beautiful and her hair so stylish. She was patient, kind and always pleasant and smiling. I always enjoyed being around her. The last time I saw Virginia was two years ago and she hadn’t aged or changed one bit. She had brought over a beef roast for Nancy and I to share together. Such a calming voice and personality. A great woman and I am blessed to have known her. Love and Hugs to the family.
