I knew Virginia for 6 years. She was very good to me and I loved her. We spent alot of time together from driving to San Diego to just hanging out talking while having cheese and crackers. She was so worried about my weight that she had me weigh in every time I came over. I kept the scale because it reminds me of her. I can still hear her voice telling me to put my fork down and chew. Lol, I miss her alot. Sometimes when we talked she would ask me.....remember when we were Young? Hahahahha she would start laughing, of course not! You are too young. I was like 40 years younger than her. I was blessed to have her as a friend.

I was so sorry to hear of your Aunt Ginny's passing. Seemed like she would live forever. I remember us laughing at all the outrageous things she would say, just because she "could" when she would visit, which I know you will especially miss. My love and thoughts are with you today and always.

Dear Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Ginny. She was such a character. I loved it when she would come to visit you and bring all her dogs. She was so funny about those dogs but now I know where you get it!!
I am sure you will miss her visits and her fun sense of humor. She really was a hoot and she really loved you!
