Rusty, Mike and the Bennett family, There are thousands of memories that go back to St.Andrews Playground Days. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She and Mr. Red were such an integral part of our childhoods. There could have been no closer two people than Mr.Red and Dad. My love and prayers go with all of you. Love, Gail Gregory Landry

I've come to know this family very well and there's no doubt in my mind that the reason this family is so special is because of Miss Virginia. The times I've seen her name sake restaurant makes me understand what true Southern Hospitality really is. My thoughts and prayers will be with the family and I will do everything I can to keep YOUR restaurant as special as it is. Thanks for your blessing to this world Miss Virginia
