Not sure what to say?

Virginia was a great friend and mentor to me. She was an extremely trusted treasurer for the local democratic party and a great citizen. I miss her deeply.

This is Bruce P. Grether, and Virginia was my first cousin once removed. I've just heard of her passing from her daughter Beth, who lives not far from me in Texas. I knew Virginia's parents, Ewald and Carrie, quite well. Her grandfather was my great grandfather. Though my knowledge of her was mostly second or third hand in the family web, I know that Virginia was an extraordinary person. I extend my deepest sympathies to all who knew her better than I did.

Psalms 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Jim, I'm so sorry for your loss. Virginia taught me how to be active in the Democratic party and how to do community service. She supported young women in politics and was one of the first to encourage me to run for the Natomas School Board. I will always appreciate her contribution to my life and to Sacramento.
