Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Virginia was the most incredible woman and touched my life in a very meaningful way. She mentored me at one time in my life through a program that we had at St. James where we partnered an older woman with a much younger woman – knowing that we would have much to learn from our ‘older and wiser’ partner. Virginia loved her family deeply and she was such a faithful, devoted Christian woman. I was always struck by her intelligence, wit and curiousity about life. She enjoyed hearing so much about my 5 years that I spent in Saudi Arabia. I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend her funeral on Friday – my own dear mother’s funeral (Ginny Balbierz) is on the very same day at 11:00 a.m. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
