Virginia had an older daughter who passed October 3, 1999. Virginia was married for 31 years to a Phillip Lambert until April 2008. She never remarried.
Her dad Raymond Hannah passed in 2005 & inspired her to be an organ donor.
Her niece Jessica Varner passed in 2010 and led her to make these decisions about cremation versus burial.
She was blessed in life to see her grand kids grow for a lill while and she will tell you that no matter how short of time you have to make the best of it and always tell them you love them. She was one that if that was the last time she saw you she knew and you knew that you were loved.
She tried to make everyone smile and leave knowing that she had a great and powerful God and that was the god who saw her to her sobriety of two half years. That that was the god who showed her sister Judy was in heaven and it didn’t matter how she died. What mattered to god was that you were saved and had accepted Christ. The other gifts in life were just a stairway to heaven to where she and whoever was with her would be flying as eagles and her holding everyone under her eagles wings.
Eagles were favorite.
He is the wind beneath my wings her favorite song,
Amazing Grace her testimony
And take my hand precious Lord lead me home, she loved hearing her daughter play.
Her favorite saying was smile and wave boys smile and wave.
If she could talk today from on the streets of heaven she would tell you to wait patiently on the Lord and to never give up, nor give in to the devil. Don’t quit for its all "under his feet" and well worth "the climb “when you get to the top. Cause at the top was" God on the mountain. "
