I was saddened to hear of Ms Black's passing. I had only met her briefly but her kind loving spirit was apparent. She had shown me pictures of here life, spoke highly of her family and very much enjoyed the people she'd met in her many travels. A truly beautiful lady!

I am so sorry to hear that Virgina is no longer here. I had the honor of taking care of her while she lived at Sunrise. She was a wonderful lady full of smiles and a warm and enviting spirit. We always laughed together and her words of wisdom will always be a part of my heart. I know she will be missed greatly by all of us whose lived she touched.
