Virginia was my friend for decades. We met when I was in 2nd grade in Pismo. Her daughters were my schoolmates. Later on, Ed and John and Pat became family, too. I will always treasure that MamaZuke was and is my Soulmate. Such a beautiful human being. John and Pat are in my prayers as they have lost their Mom and Friend. We are all blessed know and love Virginia. And Zuke and VZ are together again - Loves goes on....
