    I just recently found out about Virginia's passing. If I told you how I found out, you would not believe me. I am so heartbroken. She is a beautiful soul that will always remain within us all.

    Virginia was my therapist for a couple of years. I tried quite a few therapists, but no one was like her. She was the most caring, kind hearted, and thoughtful person I've ever met. She was so artistic and so creative. She always looked on the bright side of everything. I hope that her family is doing well. She will be missed by so many.

    Virginia was one of the most stellar people I have had the honor to work with in my career. She was a mentor for me when I began working at PAAR and we kept in touch when I left there. She was a candle in the darkness for many people and my heart breaks for a world without her.

    Please accept my sincerest apologies for the loss of your sister Ginny . I have alway held a happy picture of her in my heart and mind , my son shared story's of her and of how thoughtful and kind she was to him and of how she knew the things he liked and would give him things on holidays that directly pertained to him. She took the time to know the people in her life . I have a happy Memory of her . When she was really young she didn't believe something I said and she told me to (look me in the face and say Iggy piggy. I cannot tell a lie without laughing.) Needless to say I couldn't say it with out laughing. That is how I remember her happy bubbly friendly . The world needs more of her . She will be missed . With loving regards Tony

    I worked with Virginia for many years at PAAR, she was a very gifted child therapist and one of the finest people I have had the pleasure to call my friend. She will be greatly missed. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to her family. Kathi Leddy

    It was my honor to work with Virginia at Alliance Psychological Services for the past several years. She was all that a therapist should be: compassionate, insightful, warm and optimistic. Virginia's creative ability to use art as a method to help people express themselves, heal and grow was astounding. I learned so much from her. Virginia's smile, her laughter and her kindness supported her coworkers on our hardest days. Her deep faith and love of family were a shining example that lives on. I send my deepest sympathy and love to her family. Mary Brand
