I remember Virginia as the smiling face that greeted you when you walked into the main office of the Mott Community College Art School. She was there when I was a kid taking art classes at DeWaters, when I was art student at MCC, and every time I visited after I moved on. She always had a warm even tempered omniprescence about her that helped you through the day.

Both Doug and I were so saddened when Sam called us with the news.
You were the one that held the department together with your charm, wit and intelligence. I'll always miss our personal special friendship, the lunches, and most of all...your giggles!
