Virginia lived life fully. I knew her from 1970 and shared a lot of wonderful memories and experiences with her. We went white water rafting; biking; performed together on her television show; enjoyed her spas, exercise classes, novels, poems and books she had written and travel. She maintained her youthfulness and beauty over the years. She came to our civil war wedding and dressed appropriately. (I have a picture of her if you are interested.) I am truly sorry to hear of her passing. She brought her energy and enthusiasm for life to thousands of people all over the world over the years. I am sorry that I did not hear of her service until after it was held. Much love to her family.

I am Bob Phillips's sister who married Ruth Moore-Harry's sister and Virginia's husband. I met Virginia several times through the years and she was always so lady-like and cultured acting. It was a pleasure to know her. I was sorry to hear of her passing but hope that she is at peace now.

Virginia was a real inspiration to so many people--beautiful, elegant, talented and full of energy. She will be remembered with smiles, tears and love. She enriched our lives.

Aunt Virginia will surely be missed. I had not seen her in quite some time but we kept in touch fairly regularly by mail. She was a special person to me;so much energy and a lilting voice. I loved to hear her laugh. Blessings to all.
