  6. I didn’t know Virginia, but my wife does.

    Throughout my entire life I have heard stories about Virginia and the difficulties she has endured. While we all face our own ordeals, death is never easy to hear about.

    From my understanding, Virginia was an incredibly beautiful person, and had a wonderfully creative and passionate soul.

    While I don’t know her, I do know that the world has lost some of its luster with her passing. I am deeply sorry for the family and just know that her reach and beautiful light shed tears as far as the California coast.

    Rest in peace, Virginia Patry. You will be missed.
