***Obituary sent to me in 2004 by Aunt Lorene Gates who says she doesn't
know what newspaper it appeared in. Aunt Lorene also states that
the original draft that she herself drew up for Virgil's obituary listed
me as his daughter and that step mother Shirley would not allow my name
to be put there.
