So sorry for your loss.
My condolences with your family loss.
Dear Aunt Jane, Sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. Hope you have good memories of her and pictures to remember. She will always be in your heart. Take care and be safe and healthy.
Condolences to Graeme and all of Virginia's family and friends. I worked with Virginia at Jesse Ketchum Childcare when we were both young mothers. She shared her knowledge of plants with me and the plants she gave me from the farm are still growing in my backyard.

Jane I'm so sorry to hear of Virginia passing. We rode the school bus together. Everyone liked her. Always friendly and happy.

sorry to hear of Virginia's passing. Sending our thoughts and prayers to all of her family. George & MaryLou
When I think of Hoot, I remember a wistful young woman who loved clothes and would experiment with the making of outfits on a very old sewing machine. She would chat about a haircut she'd d noticed in a Vogue magazine and we'd let our imaginations wander She will be missed by so many Folk. My condolences to her Family and Siblings.
So sorry to hear of Virginia's passing. Sending our thoughts and prayers to all of her family.
Graeme, Jane, John, Robert and Families; Morley and I are saddened by your loss. May you find comfort, strength and support in the coming days. Our deepest sympathy on the loss of “Hootie.” ❤️❤️

Jane, John, Robert & All of Virginia’s Family I am so sorry to see Virginia has passed. It is not long ago she had txt regarding an incident that had happened years ago in Grafton. I got to know Virginia best many years ago when we were both patients at the old Cobourg Hospital. At the time she was quite a young teenager with a fantastic sense of humour! I was trying to recover from appendicitis with a bit of complication. When Virginia would sneak across the hall to visit I knew there were a lot of laughs which was going to cause quite a bit of pain but it certainly was worth it. I have often thought of her over the yrs when appendicitis is mentioned. I have no doubt you all will have many happy memories to bring a bit of light in these dark days for you. Unfortunately I am unable to attend the Celebration on Sat. Due to a previous commitment. Know I will be thinking of all of you. Bernadette
My condolences to you Jane, Rob and families in the loss of your sister Ginny.
The last time I saw beautiful Ginny was in '85 at our reunion. I can't believe how the years have slipped by for all of us but the memories are with us forever. Fly free beautiful soul, we'll catch up with you a bit later.
Jane and family, My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I am so sorry to hear of Hootie's passing. I am so glad that I was able to chat with Hootie at the reunion luncheon and share happy memories of days many years ago! Carol Reaume Brown
RIP Virginia, Condolences to the family
Jane. Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of Virginia.
So many childhood memories flooding back with the Reymes family, especially Jane and Hootie! Although I haven’t seen her in a few years, we had connected on Facebook! My sincere sympathies to Jane, John, Robert and Graeme & family!
Such a sweet girl and life long friend. I never knew Virginia to ever say a mean spirited thing about anyone and always had such a wistful, pleasant spirit. Very sad too see you go but hopefully it is to a joyous place.
