Virginias loving words to her husband:
“Russ Hopkins, you are my best friend, my husband, my hero and the love of my life. I am so grateful you helped create and raise our three amazing children: Ginger Hawkins, Jason Hopkins and Misty Ruppert. I have never once regretted our marriage to each other. 46 years seems like a lifetime ago, yet it has gone so fast. It was love at first site for me. We are far from perfect, but we are perfect for each other. I love you with all of my heart, and I always will. I look forward to eternity together. Happy anniversary, my dear. Thanks again, Kathy Hingst and Bill Hingst, for introducing us.”
Virginia’s eternal love extends to her dear friends.
