Virgie was the sweetest Volunteer. I loved making her lunch sandwiches everyday. Two of the same but one with more lettuce then the other! Always such a joy to have around with such a sweet smile. She will be missed.

I will never forget how she used her boundless energy to help me and so many other Veterans. When she volunteered in the coffee shop, she only sat down to eat. She always greeted you with a smile. She will be greatly missed!
