Kerry,
Your Mom was such a constant, positive force for so many. She was an amazing woman and mother. You were both so blessed to have each other! I am so saddened for your loss. You are in my thoughts.

It was a joy to work with "V" at CME Video & Film, which she enlivened and enriched with her professionalism, personality, enthusiasm and sense of humor. I will always carry memories of incidents of her special kindness.

Dearest Virg,

May the long time sun
Shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide your way on.
