John, I was blown away at the note and card I received today. I bawled so hard I couldn´t drive. We were friends from 5 years old when we moved into 15 Glen Avenue. I played with her every day, then she was sent to Norwalk HS, and I went to Brien McMahon. We lived two doors away. She had a canopy bed that I wanted so badly! And her mom made lots of amazing doll clothes for her dolls. I will miss her terribly. I wish you peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss John. I enjoyed working with her over the last year. She was kind, funny and we had uplifting conversations. She worked hard and was just the most gracious person. She will be missed.

Dear John
I am heartbroken... I've known Virginia since I was 17 years old... Three years we lost touch and then got back and lost touch and then got back... But we would always speak on the phone if we didn't get together... She was a very important person in my life.
She made me laugh, we worked together for many years and she helped me like a big sister would in all aspects of my life... My heart goes out to you and her brother. I can sit here all day long and talk about what a special person she was... Everybody loved her, respected her, and was a joy to be around... I will miss her forever... Laura Benedetto collins

John, I am so sorry for the loss of your faithful "Bride". Virginia had many nicknames from those who knew and loved her. "Veeber" was my best friend, really my sister- who was smart, caring, thoughtful, direct and frugal (but never cheap!); I learned a lot about people and life from her. I´ll always remember her favorites: she cherished her mother´s hand sewn quilts, yellow tulips, lemons, The Wizard of Oz, Shirley Temple, "Joe Cool" (Snoopy), coffee, fizzy beverages, sending/receiving cards, keeping up with the happenings in the neighborhood, seasonally decorating her home and "PRESENTS!" as we used to say to each other on special occasions when we exchanged gifts. Virginia was a devoted care giver who went "above and beyond" caring for her beloved mother Lavonne, Mittens, Mimi, and to me when I was recovering from surgeries. She made the most delicious comfort food for me, she was always willing to try a new restaurant and loved to go shopping, although she rarely bought anything until it was on sale, with a coupon & I would tease her that she would some how get a surprise additional discount at the register "just because it was her!" We spoke every day, until her recent illness zapped her energy so although not as frequently, we always told each other how much we missed, appreciated and loved each other. I am better for knowing her. Virginia was a good Christian, had a strong sense of right and wrong, lead a moral and exemplary life, and I will miss her until we meet again. Rest in peace my Bud, you went through a lot with great strength and courage. I love you, love you, love you! Heather
