Famiy of Virginia-

My Mom was a resident of Westwood Ridge and lived just below Virginia's apartment. We'd see Virginia frequently, walking the halls for exercise. Any encounter was always a good one. She was a pleasure to visit with.

What a blessing to have Moms to enjoy into a nice ripe age.

Know that you're in my thoughts and prayers most especially at this time.
