My dear Virginia, I am going to miss you so terribly.  You and Savannah are one in my mind even though you had moved because of the years we spent together when I lived in Savannah, and all those great St Patrick Day holidays we shared.  I am so glad we met at the Corp of Engineers all thoses years ago, and how close we became.  Rest on my dear friend.
