When friends and family reflect on the spirit of Virginia they often describe her as being an easy going, loving kind hearted, and generous person with an amazing ability to feed the soul. Anyone can attest to her awesome culinary skills once they have had the pleasure of biting into a slice of her tantalizing sweet potato custard or her tasty fried chicken.

She leaves to special memories: two sons Edd Lynn and Larry (Sonia); three daughters, Audrey, Camille, and Janice (Dennis); five grandsons, Yamata (Kikue); Kodi (Tara); Shedrick, Jhari, and Calvin; three granddaughters, Tonya (Anthony); Kendria (Michael); and Janica; eleven great grandchildren, Carmen, Tony, Lauren, Kai, Kyrie, Austin, Khaleeq, Mahogany, Alayna, l-ry’jha, and Noah; two special daughters in Christ , Gwendolyn Arnold and Kim Clark; the Shy Temple CME family, and a host of others relatives and friends.

I am so sorry about your dear loss of Mrs. Kendrick. When we lose a loved one in death, the pain is indescribable. That's is why our Loving God, Jehovah, promises to soon destroy this enemy of ours forever (Isaiah 25:8)! Then we will truly enjoy life the way God originally purposed, free from any and all things that cause us pain, sickness, sorrow, and of course death (Psalm 37:10, 11, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4). What a time this will be! May these wonderful promises and many more as found in God's Word, the Bible, soothe your hearts in the days ahead.

I didn't know Mrs. Kendrick well, but I will always be grateful for the friendship of the wonderful daughter she raised, Audrey. It is easy to measure a person by their children and this life was a blessing to all who were touched by her.
