Virginia was my god mother (Linda Pino-MacEachen) and a good friend to my family. She worked with my Mom (Susan Pino) at Sandia Labs and we spent some great times visiting each other. She spoiled me on my Birthday each year and would drop off a special gift at my Dad's place of employment. She was beautiful, feisty and I will hold all of my memories close to my heart.
