Virgil helped me break with my former life by prophetically challenging me: "Do you want to follow Jesus or not?!" I did, and have been since that day. His international experience in India, his conservative Biblical values, his joy of life, his family and more have been a lifelong blessing. In 2017 my husband and I visited with Joan and Virgil, so that is my last and precious memory with them. My heart is with all of the Vogt family, Reba Place, and the many friends who are saying good-bye to this beloved, godly man who, indeed, wanted to follow Jesus!
