Je suis désolé d'apprendre que nous ne pouvons plus parler avec notre merveilleux professeur. Elle nous a initié à la joie d'apprendre à parler comme un vrai français et à faire de merveilleuses crêpes! C'était un plaisir de la connaître.

Virginia rode the shopping bus for awhile and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing her stories of her life. I thought I knew everything about her, but I can see from her tribute here that she was much more accomplished than I could ever imagine. What an amazing life! She always spoke with much affection and appreciation for her husband and children. It was my privilege to have met her and I'll never forget her. My condolences to her family and friends.

She was one of my French teachers at Acton Boxboro. She was patient and encouraging. I have wonderful memories of her.

Virginia was a remarkable woman, intelligent, worldly, sweet and kind. She had a tremendous impact on mine and my daughter Alyssas life with her great generosity to assist Alyssa in her education (to which she was so passionate) and in doing so enabled her to achieve a high level of success and happiness. We are eternally grateful.

Mrs Skinger (can't think of calling her anything but this) was my French teacher at ABRHS in the 70's. She was a calm, caring and competent teacher. She encouraged me to take the advanced placement test in French and I was able to get two years of college credit from her teaching. As I eventually married a man who grew up speaking French in his youth, we traveled to France often and I was more than able to get by with what she taught me. It sounds like she was a teacher even up until her death as she planned for a peaceful passing and died with grace. My condolences to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who fall asleep in death are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15
