To the family of Virgil, I will miss him, I have not see him in a few years. When my dad, Don Karslake was alive, I lived in Vanderbilt and rode my bike; I saw Virgil riding. We would stop and chat and always seemed to be at the cemetery at the same time, a great place to visit. I’ve known your family since I can remember. I didn’t know he had passed until I went to church last Sunday, I was very sad. I am sorry I had not heard or I would have gone to the funeral. I will keep you all in my prayers. Surely he is with Jesus now.
