Virginia was a wonderful neighbor here at Falcons Landing, and we miss her very much. She was a delightful person–a gifted artist and story teller–and it was a priviledge to know her.
I was so glad to have gotten to know Virginia, when I’d come over to visit with my parents at Falcons Landing. She and her sweet dog, Samantha, lived across the street, and it was always so much fun to get a little talk in with them. And I want to thank Virginia for inspiring me to get back into my own art work, after she shared her art with me and gave me very good advice about keeping at it. I will really miss her.
I only met Mrs. Turner a few times, but she was a wonderful, genteel lady who retained her Southern charm after leaving Arkansas. My granddaddy, Raymond Smith, worked for her grandfather, Squire Cash, at the Tulot plantation store. My mom was born on the plantation and always remembered Virginia and family with fondness. Our condolences to her family.
My heart is saddened that Virginia is deceased. However, my heart is gladdened to remember all the wonderful times we had when she would visit Arkansas. We lived in the little bungalow next door to her mother at Tulot when Claud brought me to Arkansas as his new bride. It was then that I learned to love Virginia and her Mother. I will always cherish those memories. I know you will miss her presence. She loved her children and grandchildren. My sincere condolences to you. Joan Cash and family.
