I’m grateful to have known Virginia. She was my best friend’s mom during my difficult elementary school years and was a kind and steady presence when I saw her. I will keep her memory with me always.
I loved reading about Virginia's mentoring, writing, piano playing, and singing. The people she mentored were very fortunate to receive her love and wisdom. I was a grateful recipient of other parts of the obituary. Her love and care for her family and friends came out of every pore of her body. She leaves a giant hole and yet a palpable legacy.
I didn’t know she played piano and sang. Oh how I would love to hear some kind of recording of that. But just knowing that she loved Somewhere Over the Rainbow will make that song more precious to me. I miss her every day as we used to share Wordle puzzles. We missed very few days comparing our successes. And she encouraged me to keep writing. I will dedicate my forthcoming memoir to her. Such a beautiful soul, person, inspiration. Peace and love to you, Virginia.
A beautifully written tribute to a beautiful person! Virginia would have loved it; I do. We're lucky beneficiaries of her gifts, decades of deep sharing and wonderful memories.

I will miss her laugh and the way she always knew how to critique our writing in the most loving yet profound ways. I will look for her in the stars
