Requiem aeternam. I first met V in 1980 at Mercy Hospital. It was soon apparent that we had many common interests and beliefs and in some ways she became my mentor.

I left Mercy in 1985, but V and I kept in touch. We went to the theatre, sceances, had pizza Fridays and talked books; and man did she have a lot of them!

I asked for her help with some Community Theatre productions after "Eug" passed away and then she became very involved with her parish, and we kind of lost touch - except for the occasional phone call.

I know Virgina touched many lives during her time with us. She possessed a generous soul and I´m sure she will be missed by many.

April 1st was a day we often reminisced and laughed about - how ironic.

I met Virginia many years ago at yoga classes at Hale Park. After that we kept in touch on email. I loved the positive and inspiring animal email she occasionally sent. I will miss her. Sending sympathy and love to her family.

I first met Ginny at the Psychic Research Foundation in 1974. She taught yoga and was always so upbeat as well as energetic. We lost touch for a while, but then my employer was looking for wellness workshops and I called Ginny. She taught yoga at lunch time for a few months, and even as a senior, she was the same fun person. I hope she's at peace on the Astral Plane with Larry, Hank and Dorothy!
May Her Memory Be Eternal...
