Not sure what to say?

My sympathy goes out to all of Sr. Virginia' s family. My children had her for a teacher at Bishop Grimes High School. I always enjoyed the stories that my son Joe and his friends told about going to Miami Dolphins Games with her.

Condolences and prayers for the Sisters, family, and friends she has left behind.

I to met Sister Virginia in Sea Isle City, NJ over twenty years ago. She really loved the time she spent there. Knowing her, I feel like she found joy wherever she was though, and brightened the lives of anyone who had the good fortune of her company. Her smile was infectious and her friendship genuine.
Sister loved talking sports, especially about the Dolphins and her beloved Don Shula, but spoke most glowingly of her brother's family and all of her nieces and nephews and their...

My condolences to your family at the loss of a very special woman. Sister Virginia was my teacher growing up in North Utica at St Peters, she was an excellent educator , but more than that, kind and generous with her time and always sharing with us the joys of life, knowledge and friendship, she will be missed by many.

She will be missed.

Dear John, Joyce and family, Our sincere condolences on the loss of Sister Virginia. She taught our sister Mary (1965-2008) at St. Peter's School.

Sister V was one of a kind from the 1st years at St Rose I found a friend. she was the best! My children also loved her. Heaven has gained another Angel. My family will treasure each happy memory.

Sr. Virginia was one of the most wonderful and beautiful people I have ever met in my life. What a gift that she was my eighth grade teacher at St. Peter's in Utica. Her kindness, warmth and laughter are gifts that I have carried with me every day of my life. My deepest sympathy to her family and religious community that she loved so dearly.

I was blessed many years ago to have met Sister Virginia in her beloved vacation spot, Sea Isle City NJ. She was a beautiful person and a good friend.
I will always remember Sister having myself and fellow lifeguards from the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol, over to her house for dinner and sometimes mass. We looked forward to her arrival each summer and we were always sad when she departed.
"Thank You" Sister, for your friendship, warm smile, advice, football talk, support, and humor. All...
