To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation
of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the
world a little better place than we found it; whether by a healthy
child; a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded.
Aunt Virginia has done just that with her life. She has succeeded in making this world a better place for everyone that knew her.
I am truly grateful for her love, support, and friendship. Know that she will never be forgotten.
Love Leah Ledgley

Trevor Family: John and I were very sorry to hear about you mom passing away. Our deepest sympathy to your family. I know Jen and Ryan took her passing with great sorrow, as Jenny always told us that she and Gramma had a great relationship and that they loved her humor. Johns mom passed away a few weeks ago and he understands how difficult this time can be..Our deepest sympathy.

Gramma Ginny, thank you for everything you were to us and thanks for always letting us be boys growing up. Hunting snakes and frogs or anything else we could catch was probably not the most exciting thing for you but you never let it show. It will be memories I will never forget.
You will be missed and I am happy for you that you are in a better place now. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Ryan, Jenn, George and Max

Virginia is one of the most treasured persons whom I have been blessed to have had in my life. She has left me with many many treasured memories and “laughs”. I will miss the phone calls and her sense of humour but most of all the love she has always shown me.A better sister in law I could not have wished for. Love you “muchly” Virginia. My heartfelt sincere sympathies go out to you Doreen, Greg, Richard, Kevin and grand children. May your treasured memories help ease your sorrow and loss.
