*********RIP Chuck Brinkley*********
This lovely family were friends of my mothers. A nicer, gentler man you would
never hope to meet. His loving wife, Virginia, lived her daily life in true
Southern charm. She was bubbly, funny and liked by all who knew her. Their
beautiful daughters who perished with them -Pamela, what a beauty she was!
Inside and out she was a beautiful spirit. Little Angela was as sweet as the air
on a spring morning. No doubt these girls learned well from their loving
parents.
All these years I have kept their obituary with my family photographs and am
happy to now have somewhere to go and honor their memory. I wish the whole world
could have known these special, one of a kind, loving individuals.
