We are French relatives of Virginia. We met her only few times but have been impressed by the delicacy, subtlety and humanity of Virginia.

A grand lady indeed who touched the lives of many including mine, she was my hero, my champion, my inspiration but most of all my friend. I will always love her for her wonderful spirit, kind soul and for the positive impact she had on my life and outlook. I love you and will carry you always in my heart.
