When the kids were young, we would get them to bed and then around 9:00 at night, Virginia and I would put on our ice skates and would ice skate around our pond by moonlight and just talk about our day.

Virginia was an avid reader and contributor in our book club for many years. She was a passionate woman with much to say on the human rights of others. She will be dearly missed.

Oh my gosh, I can´t believe this. I am so sorry to hear this very sad news. I cut you boys hair when you were growing up and Virginia´s hair until I retired a few hours ago. My thoughts are with you all. I would love for one of you to contact me. With much love Jan
