I worked with Virginia at Southern Virginia Mental Health Institute. She was a great Social Worker and loved her patients. I will always remember her coming to see me in the hospital after my last child was born. She brought me a Chick Fil A salad because the hospital food was so terrible. Many thoughts and prayers to her family. I know you will miss her.
