To friends and family who may be reading and remembering Virginia today, memories never die, and thoughts of our loved ones never go away. Ginny and my mom, Dorothy, were best of friends. Mom left us five years before Ginny did, and I kept in touch with her during that five years. She was a very special friend.

Our sincere condolences to your families. Both Ginny and Bob were wonderful people. The pictures you chose of them both are perfect. Ginny looking so elegant and Bob smiling with a twinkle in his eye. This is how we remember them. We were lucky to meet them through Steve's mother, Dorothy (Thomson) Shaw. She and Ginny would share stories of when the two of them were growing up as best friends.

Virginia was such a pleasure to see every week at the beauty shop at St Therese. Bob was always at her side,,,usually a few steps behind, he brought such joy to all who passed his way. She had a great memory for everything we shared, and gave a joyful outlook to raising my two son's. She was proud of hers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ginny and Bob were such special people in my life - she and Mom were so close. I enjoyed the times when we shared meals and lemon meringue pie. I will miss them on my trips back to the cities.
When Steve (my brother) called this morning I had a picture in my mind of Mom and Dad, and Ginny and Bob dancing around in heaven.
