I think I have got to be one of the luckiest people on this earth in order to have met you. I know that our lives have touched for a special reason; you have helped me through my grief better than I thought was possible. When my mom died, you gave my life meaning again, which I thought that I would live without forever. Thank you for being my counselor and, most importantly, my friend. -Noel

"Virginia met with me almost weekly for a year. She patiently helped me to understand the emotions I was feeling, reassured me that I was not crazy, and provided me a safe place to express the intense emotions that were overwhelming me. Friends and family were eager to comfort me, but were unsure how to do so. Virginia showed me how to ask for the help I needed. In the process, I, my family, and friends learned how to take better care of each other, to share our grief, rather than have it isolate us from each other."— Nancy K.
Again, many thanks for your caring & help in preparing for my mother's death. Your wisdom will remain with me. --Robyn C.
