Condolences:

Virginia was paramount to my upbringing, teaching me how to love and care for myself when I thought those things were useless. She brought a love of play and a love of honesty and integrity to my life and I am forever thinking of her in my darkest times. Rest in Peace Virginia, I love you more than words can express.
