Dear Jacks family,
This trial seems impossible at times but I just want to encourage you how amazing Heaven will be when we get there! You are such shining examples for how we should face a hard trial like this. God promises us that He will never leave us so lets hold onto that promise and evangelize every opportunity because we aren't gauranteed the next breath we take!

Dear Jacks Family, you are in my prayers everyday. It was such a blessing to have grown up with your daughter and seeing your strength through all of this has truly encouraged me! Virginia was such a light for Christ and I loved her so much! 

In Christ,
Claire Slawson

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37 While the world wants our best, God wants our all.

Vig,
  I miss you so much! I really could not make it through this time without you without our Heavenly Father pulling me through this! Somedays I feel hopeless until I remember His promises! I know I will see you again, but I just hate not being able to see you right now! You better give me a tour when I get up there! Love you babe, Benj (aka the breath dragon)

What do you believe concerning the forgiveness of sins?

That God, for the sake of Christ's satisfaction, will no more remember my sins, neither my sinful nature,
against which I have to struggle all my life long; but will graciously grant unto me the righteousness of Christ, that I may never come into condemnation.
Forever grateful to Christ and humbled by his great love. Virginia's Dad.

Dear Jacks Family, I was so grateful that God placed a friend as wonderful as Virginia in my life for the past 16 years. I will never forget her beauty and love for the Lord. I love y'all so much and I am praying for y'all! In Christ Alone, Izzy #25

Still praying and thinking of you daily. We love you! The Contes

No retreat, No regrets, No return, Your mother and I, Kirby and Bowen, will always miss you Virginia. Virginia's Dad

She had this joy that was AMAZING and it was because she was totally in LOVE with the Lord!! I love yall and I am praying for yall!! Love, McCoy Evans

To the Jacks family and our beloved Eastwood family…we are constantly remembering you and praying for you, longing to be there with you all. Virginia’s sweet testimony has brought smiles to so many, a number of which are people who did not even know her. We are rejoicing with you in her victory and praying for the Lord’s peace until you are reunited again. Isaiah 26:3-4  Jason and Leslie

Ginger and Kevin,
Yesterday Kirby shared with me the news about Virginia. While I did not know her it is obvious through the testimonials that she walked closely with Christ and created a powerful impact for His glory on all who knew her. I am so very sorry for your loss. Know that Vickie and I are praying for you.
Matt and Vickie Brinkley

Dear Kevin and Virginia,

The Conte's all love you very much. I wanted to share with you what I heard Steven Curtis Chapman say of his daughter. Virginia is a far greater part of our future than she was of our past. While you long for her here and now, I pray that this thought will bring some comfort. Thank you for sharing your life and love with us.

Donna

Kevin and Ginger, I continue to pray for you all every day. I am so inspired by Virginia's life, especially her passion for Christ and her physical discipline. Grace and peace by yours in abundance....

Lauren Hixon

precious Jacks and Williams families, Kevin and I lift you in prayer daily, we both rejoice and grieve with you! We love you!!

Ginger and Kevin,
Eastwood played their state volleyball tournament this weekend. So many people came up to Eastwood people and commented on how they were praying for your family and our school family. A lady from Faith Christian School in Athens gave us a video taken when they were scouting Eastwood's basketball team last year. Girls from other teams also wore teal ribbons in their hair.

Kevin and Ginger, I just heard the news. My heart is breaking for you, but my heart is rejoicing for Virgina. She is in paradise with her Father. Her life will be a testament for all of us.
Greg and Susan Dageforde

Virginia was such a sweet and loving young woman. When my dad was sick with cancer, her and her family were so kind to help with chores and things around the house. That meant so much to me and my family. To kevin and ginger and the rest of the family-she will truly be missed.

The beautiful smile on Virginia's face is reflected in your entire family. Our family prays for you daily and is encouraged by your faith. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."

We all loved virginia soo much! She often sent me scripture verses of encouragement and love. It is still shocking to me that she is gone.

Dear Jacks Family, Our families heart aches for you. Like you our 17 yr old son Justin Henderson is now in heaven after a auto accident Nov 25, 2007. Justin was a Junior at Hooper Academy. These children are safe in our Fathers arms now. We must keep the good fight. You were so blessed to have Viginia. With Gods Love, The Henderson Family

Kevin & Ginger, no words can express how much we love you. Virginia's homegoing has brought to our whole church & school family that life is precious and we are to take advantage of each day. She is in heaven rejoicing with her Savior. We mourn her loss only for a while. All of us shall see her soon. P.A. & Chris

To all who read this note: Know that God is answering your prayers. We have been surround in a sea of people that have loved and encouraged our faith. We loved our daughter very much. We desire to place our hearts in our Lord's hand to mold us into his image. Thank you for your prayers and your kind words. Virginia's Daddy

I work at Greenwood and assisted you with the burial arrangements. Not one day has gone by since then that I have not had Virginia and your family on my mind. After the burial I attended the service at Eastwood and was greatly moved by what the Pastor said about her. I have been encouraged to pick up where she left off in the cause for Christ and will not allow her death to be for nothing!

Kevin and Ginger,
What a blessing it was to see you at Church Sunday. What a testimony of God's grace in your lives! As I continue to grieve minute by minute for Virginia, it comforted me to just see you all with smiles on your faces singing praises to the Lord. Thank you for all allowing us to learn from your witness and from how faithfully you have parented your children. Lauren Hixon

This is virginia's cousin Hughes pinson I am so sorry about what happened I play football and wrote her name all over my jersey and I play hard just for her.I am going to dedicate all my sports to her.I am really sorry I really miss her.she was my nicest cousin.

Dear Jacks Family,
Our sweet friends, Leslie and Jason Janaros, told us about your very recent loss. My heart goes out to you, Virginia's classmates and your whole church. As our loving God surely works to bring good from out of this tragedy, my family will be praying for your comfort. In Christ, Virginia Lynn

Dear Jacks Family,

It was such a privilege to be Virginia’s teacher. I will always remember her beauty and radiance. She would light up the room every day with her smile. It was such a blessing to see her so strong in her faith and so willing to encourage others - even me. I found a sweet note she wrote me last year and she had signed it “In His Arms, Virginia.” I know that is where she is and that the joy that I knew in her is now complete. I miss her and I think about you all every day. You are constantly in my prayers.

All my love and prayers,
Jessica Montgomery

Virginia's precious soul has made heaven brighter. Christ's loving arms are tightly around her right NOW. May all who grieve have the full knowledge and understanding that Virginia is alive in Christ and joyful in her heavenly place. You WILL see her again.

God promises that no matter what comes upon us, He is with us. His grace is upon us, and therefore we can endure suffering. As painful as it is to suffer the loss of someone you love, you are so blessed to know that He raised Virginia up to be with Him and that her years will know no end. Our love to you all.

Dear Kevin, Ginger and family, I heard the news at 3:00 in the morning and I fell to my knees on behalf of Virginia and your entire family! I have known you and your family for over 25 years! I remembered when Virginia was born and we were in the midst of raising our children in the nursery. I rest assured God is sovereign, His love is everlasting, and His ways are higher than ours -Bruce

Jacks Family,
I'm sorry for the loss of Virginia. I didn't know her very well but she always very nice and would always say hello to me. I know that Virginia had a strong passion for Christ, friends and family. She will never be replaced and always be remembered! Someday when we all reach heaven we will see her again and her beautiful smile when we get there. God be with you.

Mr. and Mrs. Jacks, yall have been practically my family for the past 16 years and I love yall so much!! I'm praying for you constantly. Both of you and Virginia have impacted me (and still are!!) I will never forget her, and I hope that I will see both of you soon. I love you both more than I can say.
  In His Arms, Hope

Dear Jacks Family,
