Virginia Balducci

So sorry to read this news. My mom took lessons from Mrs. Kelley, as did my sisters and I. We really learned a lot from her.

I am remembering playing cards with Virginia and my Grandfather. She was so much fun and always so kind. I am sorry to hear of her passing.

Dear Patty and Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. What a great "!st Lady of Dance" she was. I will always remember her and Mike, my Godfather, with fond memories.

Grand lady of dance. May she find that great ballroom in Heaven. My prayers are with the family.

So sorry to hear about your mom, Kitty. My sister sent me the article. She was a great lady and so full of life. Our thoughts and prayers go to your family.

I WAS 3 YEARS OLD WHEN I STARTED TO DANCE AT "KELLY'S" 1944. SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES. MONDAY NIGHT TAP CLASSES, FRIDAY NIGHT BALLROOM, SAT. BALLET & ACROBAT. REMEMBER SITTING ON THE FLOOR AND EATING MY LUNCH THEIR. DANCED ALL OVER JOLIET AND THE RIALTO. VIGINIA WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. AS A REWARD FOR BEING GOOD ALL YEAR, HER & MIKE WOULD PLAN A "RIVERVIEW" OUTING EVERY SUMMER. 2 CENTS DAY. THEY WOULD TAKE A BUS LOAD OF US KIDS UP TO "RIVERVIEW". WHAT GREAT PEOPLE AND SO MUCH FUN TO BE WITH....
