My condolences to all of Aunt Ginny’s children and granddaughters on the passing of your Mom. It is never easy to lose a parent, no matter your age. I pray for your peace and comfort as you continue your life journey without your Mom. May God’s peace be with you. Cherish the memories you created with your Mom. I will always remember her for her caring and loving nature. Love always Aunt Becky
Your mother was everyone’s mom. It saddens me that she has passed and condolences to your entire family. She was such a caring person and I hope that is legacy that people will remember of Mrs. Carpenter.
I can only hope Virginia realized how many lives that she touched. Like Mr. Ricciotti stated, “she was everyone’s mom” come thick or thin. Many a night were spent around the dining room table, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee and spilling out my life’s problems. As the wise sage that she was, she would just sit and listen… offering her advice when it was much needed, necessary, and greatly appreciated. You really did touch all of us and will not be forgotten. Thank you.
