    Virginia, Thank you for letting me get to know you better when I moved back to take care of Dad. I loved the way you always told me how much you loved my Mother, and how the two of you would spend hours talking on your porch. Thank you, also, for looking out for her, in her early stages of Alzheimer's. You once said to me "You're all I have left," when talking about the early days of Aderene Road, referring to the camaraderie of our neighbors. Virginia, I am going to miss you terribly, you were all I had left, I love you. Karen Hanlon

    I'll always remember the fun I had with my Aunt Virginia. She was such a wonderful person, took me to the movies, out to lunches, to Revere beach. We loved to go swimming in her pool. She was always smiling and used to send me funny jokes. I will always cherish the time we spent together! Love and peace, Theresa Cartolaro-Jannino

    May you rest in peace Virginia. I loved it when I would see you going to mass early in the morning and you would always say " I'll say a prayer for you Donny". I love you and will never forget you.💖🙏🙏
