Virginia’s Café has been a special place for my family and I. My Father would take all of us as a special treat and now 20 years later I do the very same for my family. The Café was made special by Mrs. Keifer and the wonderful staff she employed there! From my family to yours, I wish the deepest condolences and God bless you all.

Dwayne and I would be out in the kitchen at her house cooking massive steak dinners at one in the morning. Virginia would get out of bed and come talk to us and see what we were cooking. She was always good to her children’s friends. Our family sends heartfelt condolences to her entire family and her friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. She was such a loving aunt. I remember going to breakfast with my Dad ( Jake Von Busch) I was working on the Garbage Rt. in the summer when I was out of school. I just visited with her at my sister’s funeral. I’m so sorry I haven’ t kept up with the family. My prayers are with all of you. I will miss her a lot.
