I am very sorry to hear about Virige’s passing. I was a friend of Doug’s and we hunted the U.P. for several years. Virige was a 3rd. cousin to me.
Life is just too short.
A great gal and friend of all, we will miss her smiles and her laugh.
My deepest sympathy to Sue, Dan, and Mike’s family.
All my love,
Verla
