Floating under the surface,
stones weighting her body,
gremlins and goblins 
were hobbling her soul;
she's full to o'erflowing, 
her faculties failing,
she swam with the fishes 
and found her way home.

Virginia's suicide was a tragedy of huge proportions... she is sadly missed. Thanks for your cool remarks. Keith
