I met Virginia thru Mahjongg. We were both from the south so became "Southern Belle" friends. I looked forward to seeing her every Friday and truly will miss her. I have memories of her having her card memorized and the group teasing her about it. She was a good sport and was so much fun. Win at Mahjongg up there in heaven Virginia...your card is waiting.

My sincere condolences to Virginia's family. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with her for years at CNU. Virginia was always friendly, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted. I know she made a difference in the lives of many. May God Bless her with eternal life in heaven above.

I am so sorry to hear of Virginia's passing. She provided a strong role model for me in my early days as a faculty member: she was kind and full of integrity. My condolences to the family, especially Mary, whom I remember from my first term teaching at CNU.
