Virginia welcomed me with open arms and a huge heart when I was her new neighbour and new to the States. I will never forget her kindness. May God bless her giving spirit.

Aunt Ginny was an inspiration to be a strong and vibrant woman. She loved life and sought out wonderful experiences. She taught me to do the same. May those of you close to her find peace in the memories.

What a wonderful person. She came into our lives shortly after our Dad had passed away and was in it ever since. She was a great friend to Mom and they had wonderful memories together. We will dearly miss her. "Good night Irene"! and pleasant dreams...
