I will dearly miss my sweet happy Aunt Virginia and all the fun phone chats we had. She was most always happy and full of laughter despite having senior issues. She always seemed in a good mood and spoke kindly of everyone. A good lesson for me. She will finally be reunited with her beloved husband Donald who left her too soon.
