Virginia’s presence lit up a room. Her voice and humor kept you laughing until you cried. She was open, outgoing, and never met a stranger. She was a very generous person with everything she had. Virginia would give you the shirt off her back just for the asking. She never refused to help anyone that asked, no matter what the cost. Her life was somewhat private except for close family and friends. Her health had been declining for some time and she finally succumbed to those issues. She was a trooper; she was a winner.

Sometimes, it’s not a matter of being a winner or a loser, it’s just how you play the game. Virginia will be greatly missed, always loved, and never forgotten. One of her favorite Scriptures was Numbers 6:24-26. “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”

So...Off you go dear Ginni. Off you go.
