Virginia was one of the kindest, sweetest, most gentle persons I have ever had the privilege to know. She was always there for me whether it was a shoulder to cry on, or company for a day of lunch & pedicures. She had a love of life & God's creatures. My life has been enriched by knowing her. I will cherish our time together, she will always be in my heart.

You were one of the sweetest people I have ever known. To get to call you my Great-Aunt was a privilege and a blessing. You will be greatly missed, Virginia...
