Wayne and Manny, you know your Mom was very special to everyone that ever saw her smiling face. She was my aunt and also my friend. She left an empty place in my heart. May she rest in peace.

Aunt Virjean was a very spicial Aunt, I called her every day and we did talk about memories and we laughed a lot. She will be missed so much. I wish I was there to be with family but I am sure they all know how much I loved her....
