Ruth and family,
There was no one like the Virgil McGautha! Such a friend to all. When Virgil and I visited on the phone…his primary topic of conversation was his family. How much he loved each and every one of you…listing all the accomplishments of each child and grandchild. And then he would talk of Ruth…knowing that that 50th wedding anniversary was coming up and he was wanting to plan a a very bigger than life celebration to show his love for his one and only. He would also ask about all the Rosedale group…wanting to know about each and everyone and always sending good wishes to us all. I know you will miss him terribly as will we. The last we talked we were looking forward to our class reunion that is being held this fall. We will certainly celebrate Virgil, knowing he is watching over us from above.
Not many of us can claim to have a good friend for over 55 years….but I do…Virgil…one in a million….
Most sincerely,
Theresa Hicks Van Goethem
