Alas, the treatments did not work, and she died. When I went to her funeral, I saw her quilt displayed among the floral arrangements. Her daughter told me how Virginia had prized her quilt.
It is so great just to know how appreciated a quilt can be
to someone. It makes all the work worthwhile.
So sorry that your friend has passed.
