I lived in the same building as Virginia. We´d talk all the time when we saw each other. I´ll never forget how excited she was when I told her I was going back to school to be a teacher. We´d talk Special Education and I learned a lot from her. I´m terribly saddened to hear of her passing. She´ll not be forgotten.
