My sincere condolences to Roger & Annette, Kim and Nikki, Warren and her remaining family. Virgie was my cousin who I always looked up to growing up and enjoyed our family gatherings at Mums, the lake, Roger & Annettes and Bruce and Deanna’s. Many memories from old, only wish I didn’t live so far away that we missed more recent memories to share. I had the opportunity to spend time last June with Virg and really enjoyed looking through pictures and talking about our lives after the services for my father. I will cherrish those memories and many childhood ones as well. Taken way to early, may she rest in peace and be with those who loved her and also left this earth too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you and those left behind. Due to circumstances out of my control, I am unable to fly up from Florida for the service. RIP Virg, Love Karen
Aunt Virg,
You were always the coolest Aunt anyone could ever have! I will forever miss your smile and laughter. R.I.P. Aunty Virg
I never had the pleasure of meeting Virgie…but know of her through my dear friend here in Florida, Doreen Raccio. Virgie must have been very special because Doreen put her life on hold and immediately went up to CT to spend some time with her before her passing…and make arrangements which Virgie asked her to do. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends of Virgie…and especially my friend, Doreen, who I know is grieving Virgie’s loss.
My deepest sympathy to Virgi’s family. Many fond memories of years ago when we all used to hang out together. I can still remember Virgi’s laugh. It still makes me smile. God bless. Love, Sue
