A Loving Tribute to Our Mother, Virginia Lexton (known to her family and friends as “Ginny”):

Nothing ever fully prepares you for when a parent passes away. Our mother passed away on Nov. 10 peacefully in her home.

No one can ever take the place of a mother. She is the one person who will always love you unconditionally. On days when the world is challenging, a mother’s love builds you up to face these challenges.

Mom, you were an amazing woman, our first female role model and our BFF!! We will miss your strong will and determination. By far, Mom, you were the strongest person we ever knew and loved. We can only hope to be as strong as you as we grow older.

You can have a lot of friends in your life, but there will never be one more loyal and supportive than a mother.

On behalf of your twin daughters, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you Mom!! Two words that are not said as often as they should be. We speak these words from our hearts and with gratitude.

Thank you Mom for making us the strong, independent women we are today.

Thank you Mom for instilling in us a strong work ethic.

Thank you Mom for showing us that attention to detail matters.

Thank you Mom for giving us amazing, memorable vacations.

Thank you Mom for the sacrifices you made to give us the opportunities we had.

Thank you Mom for always supporting, encouraging, and listening to us.

Thank you Mom for our lifelong friendship.

Thank you Mom for all the times when these words went unspoken.

Thank you Mom for marrying an amazing man, who is the most loving, supportive, dedicated, and loyal father two daughters could ever have.

Thank you Lord for every day that we had our mother in all her glory and beauty for as long as we did.

Forever your loving daughters,

Janice and Robin
