[Ohio-talk] Rest in Peace

[Colleen Roth]

Hi All,
Virginia truly embodied the Federation Spirit.
When you think of all she had to go through it was really amazing.
If we all did one tenth of what Virginia did we could have a very dynamic Affiliate.
She just kept going and going.
I will never forget her Spirit in organizing the Lake Chapter, selling Chocolate Bars, organizing Senior Events. She just wrew herself into everything.
I remember Sandy Bresler took hope from her.
So many people have grown from knowing her.
We can honor her memory by helping the Seniors Division and all Chapters grow.
May God be with her family.
Rest in Peace, Virginia.
Colleen Roth
