To Virginia's family,

I worked with her at Job Bound, she made coming to work each day a pleasure. Virg was what they used to call a real whipper-snapper and she was a great friend. She talked about all of you so much, I know her family was everything to her. I hope your lifetime of memories will bring you through this sad time. With deepest sympathy,
