Aunt Virginia,
I can’t tell you how much I have admired you throughout my life. I have wonderful memories of when I was a little girl and we would make our trips to Richland to visit. I also have fond and loving memories of living with you and Uncle Leonard when I was student teaching. You always had such a zest for life and a positive outlook on everything. I will miss your inquisitive mind and your loving heart. Thanks for being such a special part of my life. Take care of mom and dad for me.
Love,
Lori
