“Wishing to share our sincere sympathy and loving memories to the family of Virginia Kness. Karen, Erlynn and Mackey Kelly remember growing up close to the Kness family where we lived in Rosita. Fond memories of the Kness girls at the Querida club where our parents played cards and enjoyed refreshments on a regular basis back in the 1950's. So very sorry to loose one of the special ladies of the valley. Our hearts and prayers go out to each of you. Love from the Kelly family”
