    My Aunt Virgie never changed her demeanor from the day I was born. I remember her having to go to the hairdressers every Friday so there would be no hair out of place. She always had impeccable make up on and lipstick that never disappeared. Her hands were silky smooth without a wrinkle. She had a special smirk when she laughed almost as if she were slightly embarrassed. I never heard her ever raise her voice and when she talked, she seemed to be whispering. Although I grew older, she never seemed to change a bit.

    My mother told me that when we went to visit, Aunt Virgie would make my father’s favorite cake…using 6 eggs! The icing would melt in your mouth. I think she was the person that introduced me to orange soda.

    Aunt Virgie will always be remembered for being the “family” caregiver. She nursed her father, her sister-in-laws, her friends, and her sister, my Aunt Mary right until the very end of their lives on earth. She was the last to survive out of her 3 brothers and 2 sisters.

    I did not know my aunt as well as other people, but I will always remember her gentleness, her lovely smile, and her ability to make me always feel welcome. She will be sorely missed.
