I always wondered what brought me to a job that I had no experience at and wasn't always sure I wanted to be there. God brought me there to meet my girlfriend and sister-friend,as she referred to me. I will always remember the many times we laughed. I will never forget her. I want her family to know how special they were to her. Her mama raised her the right way. She always said that. She loved Sunday mass and always looked forward to seeing her mom afterwards. She never wanted to miss a Vegas trip, it was most fun going with her mom. John you were her sweetheart, the love of her life. She talked about her brothers. Thanksgiving at her brothers was so special to her. She loved you both. Clara and Roselee you were the best friends. She spoke of you often. She loved you both and were so glad you were in her life. She is in even a better place then Nassau, looking down on us. Cherish the memories as we all will. Her nieces and nephews were special to her. She brought pictures and cards she received to work and spoke about each of you as if you were her own. She loved all of you. I will never forget my girlfriend. I learned so much about life through her. God brought me to a job to meet "my friend" She touched all of our lives with her strength and love. She will always be in my heart.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Virginia at Remedy Staffing. She was a wonderful person and a great help when I started at the Mokena office. We would always call each other Friday evening before we closed to wish each other a "Great Weekend". I will miss the sound of her voice on the phone. I was truely blessed to have known her and I will never forget her.

God is with Virginia now and she is at peace. I pray for Virginia's family and friends that they will get through this hard time. I worked with Virginia at Remedy when she first came on board. She always made me smile and was a good friend. I will never forget her.

My name is Diane and I had the pleasure of working with Virginia when she first started at Remedy Staffing. I am her employers, the Corsos, niece and we both were very new at the job and were learning making mistakes along the way. She had such a great sense of humor and a wonderful way about her when working with people in person and on the phone. She and I developed a friendship and she was a listener when I needed one. Fortunately, this continued long after I quit. I will forever miss her voice on the phone and warmth when she asked "how are you?" She always meant it. I wanted her family to know that I prayed for her everyday since the lung cancer was found and I recently mailed her a card, which I think she got, to express to her how I admired her strength and that she was my hero. I am sorry that I cannot attend the services to honor her but have been playing Whitney Houston "Moment In Time" repeatedly in her honor. She is finally free. I am certainly glad to have known her. I wish all her friends and family peace and strength to get through the difficult days. Take care. Love, Diane Hettasch
