What a nice tribute to Virginia! She was truly a giving soul who had a unique, and infectious, outlook on life! This is what carried her through the more troubled times in her life. The following snippet you offered captures Virginia perfectly:
Steve to Virginia: "Virginia, I'll have a blue-tailed monkey with a twist of lime."
Virginia to Steve: "Coming right up. On the rocks or stirred?"
THAT was Virginia!
May you rest in peace, dear Virginia, reunited with your beloved mother and other loved ones whom you sorely missed, and whose memories - and anecdotes! - you graciously shared with me.
