Bill and I send sincere condolences to Virginia’s family. Virginia and I were classmates at St. Peter’s and at Cardinal Gibbons High School. I remember her fondly. May she rest in peace and may your memories of her console you during this time.

Ms. Virginia,
I have the fondest memories of you. My earliest being those many conversations you shared with my Mama, the late Mrs. Delores Thomas at the Leonardtown laundry. Later memories of your many visits to my Grandmother, Khaki Kane’s porch and you giving me a “report” from school on my Goddaughter, Jada Thomas. Grandma Khaki loved you dearly and I hope you both are reunited in heaven.
Sending my sympathy and prayers to all of Ms. Virginia’s family. May she rest in peace.
Mrs B. 🕊️
We had so many laughs. I swear that you were a closed door comedian. Most people thought that you were quiet but I quickly learned that wasn’t true. You were just reserved in certain crowds.
Take your rest my love. You have earned your new heavenly home. I hope that there is 24 hour bingo and unlimited sweet tea awaiting you. You can now be reunited with your mom and Uncle Wish. What a reunion it will be. I love you always, forever, and beyond.
Love Your Forever Friend,
Mel❤️
Mrs. Butler was my teacher in first grade , at Bethune Elementary, around 1973.
She was also my 3 children’s teacher at Dynard Elementary.
Mrs. Butler was a wonderful person as a teacher and as a friend in my adult life.
She was a very hard worker .
I was out of town for 2 weeks during the time of her funeral.
My condolences to her family .
