    Dear Debbie and Barry,

    I knew Virginia for many years, and know how much it hurts, that she is gone. Just remember that she no longer has to deal with (in her words: “this damn oxygen!”) her pain and suffering. She and I had a wonderful friendship, and I will miss her greatly. At least she now can rest in peace and not suffer anymore. I offer my sincere condolences to you and your family.

    David

    Mr. Bruno, Jeff, Mike, Matt and Will,I am terribly saeenddd to hear about Sharon, such an extremely kind person. I know it has been a long time since we have been in contact, but I think of the old days on Clover Leaf Drive fondly. Mrs. Bruno used to drive me to school every morning at St. Luke, and even though I wasn’t family, let me sit in the front because I was the oldest of the kids at the time. I will never forget her. Having the Bruno’s for neighbors was the best thing I had going as a kid, and Mrs. Bruno was a huge part of that. Both of my parents are out of the country right now, but I will relay the sad news to them on their return.With Love,Rory

    Please disregard the condolence from Diskoland on July 3 2012. This is for a different person not for Virginia

    This is the first time I am seeing my grandmother- ever. She and my mother have been estranged 1969, she isn’t even mentioned in this obituary. I am sad for her loss and that I never had a chance to meet her.
    She is also survived by her eldest Daughter Linda, her husband Khee, granddaughters CKatherine, and Jade and great granddaughters Brynn and Rylee

    Debbie,
    I just ran across this today. I am sorry about the passing of you mom. You know how close Virginia and I once were. For that matter you and I also. Please accept my belated condolences.
    With Love.
