Virginia is a retired first grade teacher of 34 years. She has been married for 38 years. She has two children and two grandchildren. She lives in Virginia Beach and is the store manager at Virginia’s Daughter Bridal Boutique in Suffolk, VA. Writing a book has never been on her to-do list until the family story she and her husband uncovered needed to be written down and shared. She is currently working on her second book- a book about dealing with the loss of a child using the poems she wrote after the unimaginable loss of her first born child. -CONTACTS- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573702931920 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573702931920] This is a public episode.
