My heart and condolences go out to the family; what a loss. One of the friendliest, giving persons I have known. I loved the fact that while Virginia had issues in regards to her health, personal life, etc.you would never know as she always had a kind smile, gentle demeanor, giving and kind word for others. She will be greatly missed by many. Rest In Peace and God's arms my friend; you have earned it.
