Aunt Ginny was a very special person who inspired me deeply with her life of service as an oncology nurse, one of the most demanding fields in medical practice- who always placed others before herself as did my parents -Peter and Marianne Wersant. I have sworn to follow their example. Paul Wersant and family

Virginia, my dear friend and colleague. So loving and caring to her patients but first to her fellow staff. So many laughs and great times together. She was always Grandma Ginga to my daughter Melissa. Raised such loving and caring children and grandchildren. Until we meet again...in the Glory of God!
