Virginia and Ray were two  of my best friends.Cal and I shared decades of memories with this wonderful couple.I remember laughing through New York and London. Great times! It saddens me that I never got to say good-bye She unexpectedly was moved away and I was unaware of her illness.My grand-daughter watched her beloved dogs and kept me posted on how she was doing, and then she was gone.
She was an intelligent,kind,beautiful person who loved her children,her dogs and her home.
      She will be missed

We have missed Virginia very much in the last few years.  She was a good friend.

A wonderful principal, good friend and great hostess.  She will be truly missed.

Your mom was the one who encouraged (nagged) me to start on my Master's Degree. Later on, that Master's Degree brought me a promotion as well as more money. Wise woman, your mom. 

Mrs. Urbanek was tough, but fair. Although I would dread seeing a pink note "See me. VU" in my mailbox, it wasn't always a negative summons. Got my heart racing, nevertheless! 

She was a grand principal, mentor, and friend. She made her mark with so many of us. She shall be missed. Love and prayers to the family.

A principal that always supported her teachers. Wonderful person. My prayers are with her family.

My favorite teacher (1964). Loved her dearly.

May she rest in peace. 


She is now at rest and there is light in her path once again.
May God grant peace and comfort to her
loved ones.
