Nathan, Candance and Charlotte - You will miss her presence in your lives but the many times you shared will remain with you and bring you comfort and joy. Virginia was a beautiful and courageous woman with a keen intelligence who appreciated so much of what life offered her and living it fully. She was my close friend for over 45 years and I will cherish her to the end of my days. Jo

Dear Nathan, Candace and Charlotte, We are so sorry for your loss. Ginny was such a thoughtful, intelligent, perceptive and sensitive human being. And a delightful partner in many acts of conspiracy and mischief! The world has lost a special person and she will be sorely missed. A big hug, Linda & Heriberto

Dear Nathan, Candace, and Charlotte, My deepest sympathies on your loss. Ginny and I first became friends when she worked for the TDSB. I had made a presentation to the TDSB on continuing an annual day of awareness of Apartheid in South Africa. Farouk and I were working in the garden later that evening and Ginny recognised me and stopped to speak. We become friends with many family dinners to follow. Ginny and i loved to dance and she became my "dancing partner" on many occasions. Ginny was a frequent guest at home when we had members of the ANC or ant-apartheid movements visiting Toronto. South Africa Ginny stayed with us on her trip to South Africa. We always re connected when I made my visits to Toronto. Farouk and i has last had lunch with her about two years ago at her flat. I shall always miss and remember my friend fondly. Fatima

My deepest sympathies to Nathan and family and Virginia’s sisters. Virginia quickly became one of my closest friends when I began working with her in child welfare in the Ontario government. We discovered we had both worked as political assistants to Ministers in the NDP, knew many of the same people, and could spend countless hours and glasses of wine sharing the good and difficult stories from those times. We went on to have many wonderful times together. I so appreciated her quick mind, her endless curiosity about the world, her love of good books and her ability to discuss them, and her warmth and sensitivity. She was uniquely captivating and I will miss her terribly.

Nathan, Candace and Charlotte- so sorry for your loss. Virginia was really special and will be missed by me.

Thinking of you Nathan, Candace and Charlotte. I hope you all take comfort in the memories you made together. Sending love and hugs.

Charlie and I send our deep condolences to Nathan and family. We got to know the wonderful Virginia when we all worked at 155 College Street in the old Toronto Board of Education building. We shared a progressive politics as well as the fact that we were all Americans who came to Canada for a better life. Virginia was a woman of high intelligence, elegance, wit and compassion. May her memory be a blessing.

Dear Nathan, Candace: For a long time, your mother was one of my dearest friends. Though I had not spoken with her for about eighteen months, her passing comes as a severe shock to me. I had known Virginia since we worked at the Toronto Board of Education more than forty years ago. Virginia and I became acquaintances during that time, but it was not until we both left the Board that we became fast friends. Politics, both national and international, was our meeting place. And we just liked each other’s company. We shared countless articles and thoughts about books we had read. For a few years, she edited papers I had written - lots ofvdebates about my use of language. I learned a great deal about writing from your mother. When we moved to Guelph about twenty years ago, Virginia spent several weekends out here with us. I would love those weekends, Virginia wrapped up in a shawl, legs tucked up under her on a couch, listening to music and chatting about our children, about current beefs in politics, and about what I was going to cook for dinner for the three of us. I cannot remember when or why those weekends ended. Nothing in particular happened — we just stopped doing it. Then, a few years ago, Virginia got me to do a talk for the Academy for Lifelong Learning, and I now wish I had used that occasion to renew a frequent connection. Goodbye, my dear friend.

A wonderful, warm lady. RIP. I miss her.

Dear Nathan, Candace,& Charlotte. Hugs! You are in our thoughts throughout these difficult days.

My dearly beloved sister, I loved you in life and Shall love you ever more! Until we meet again, I embrace the memories of you ! Nathan, Candace and Charlotte, Thank you for being her love and support.
