Virginia also enjoyed the company of her family and their annual family reunion, tending to her flower gardens, reading, traveling, and following the Hawkeyes. Best of all, she laughed at all of her husband’s teasing & jokes. Their humor expressed to each other reminds us all to have fun and laugh with those we love.
