I didn't know Virginia but do know her son Donald. He is a very good person so she must have been great to raise such a good and generous person.

Virginia was a wonderful woman and a great inspiration to me. Her sense of humor always hit home with me, because she could laugh at the most common, everyday things and turn a hated chore (like laundry) into a comedy! Her model as a wife and mother is something I strive to reach, but she was truly one of a kind and I know that I will never be the woman Virginia was. But, in her honor, I will continue to follow her example. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
