Virginia held a very special place in our hearts. She was a very great friend and companion to our Mom, Bernice Szwajkos. She was better than an Aunt to us, and we will never forget her and the love she showed for our family.
Will always remember Virginia’s beautiful smile and sweet demure. Virginia was the last of her generation and will be missed but not forgotten.
