I consider Ginny to be one of those special friends you would be lucky to have in your lifetime. We met through a mutual friend in 1983 and discovered that we both liked to travel where we could enjoy nature. Through the years we made trips to the Southwest, Northwest, the Black Hills and Badlands, Western Canada, Florida, and the East coast from Maine to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. As well as enjoying all these adventures together we had a meeting of minds and deep conversations. During my visit to Cape Cod last August, Ginny and I reminisced about all the wonderful times we shared together. I will always cherish those memories and the love I have for her.

From: Christel Fjelde October 27, 2019 | Orleans, MA | Friend Virginia was one of the classiest ladies I ever met - classy and smart and beautiful. She was a member of our book Group at Snow Library in Orleans, MA for many years and probably did more research on the books we selected than the rest of us. Her positive outlook on life and the way she handled her illness has been an inspiration to all of us. We will miss her and we will remember her. My condolences to the family. Christel Fjelde October 27, 2019 | Orleans, MA | Friend
