To Virginia's family. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I have known her for seven years because of my work with Charlie. I will always remeber her as a caring and devoted mother and a kind and generous person. -

I was happy to share my hat with Aunt Virginia on the windy cold day we attended her brother Dennis's graveside service. She looked so cute!! I'm glad I got to be with her that day and share good memories. Here are some pictures taken later that day with her sisters and brothers.

Aunt Virginia, you were one of my favorite aunts and an important person in my life. I miss you dearly and will always remember you for your often candid and humorous comments. You will always have a special place in my heart.
