I have wonderful and fond memories of Virginia. She reminded me so much of my grandmother, who had passed years ealier. Whenever I was with Virginia, I felt like I was with my grandma and I let her know that many times. Like many people who crossed her path, I am a better person for knowing her.

Virginia Hook was a blessing to all that had the pleasure to meet her. She was full of wisdom, compassion and love. I was fortunate to have know her and learned from her. She was so very proud of everyone and everything in her life. She was truly a wonderful example of God's love here on Earth. What a dear friend she was. I am blessed for having know her and loved her. Dear Virginia...God's speed and see on the other side. "Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss
