Virginia Holter Obituary

Mom: Missing you again this Valentine´s Day. You were always so supportive and I miss you deeply.

Well Mom, it has been a year since you departed this earth. I still miss you so much and often turn to the phone to call you. Then sadly recall that you are gone. It is so hard to process as you were always there for me. I hope you knew how much I loved you. Love, Steve

Mom: 2 days ago was the 10th anniversary of Dad's death and the first time it has occurred in my life without you still being on earth with me. I miss you both so very much but I do appreciate all be blessing you both gave to me so freely. You both continue to live in my mind and with all the great memories I have!

I was very happy to have been in contact with Virginia Holter in 2004. She shared information about her vocal studies with Helene Piotrovsky, a student of Pauline Viardot-Garcia-a famous singing teacher. May her memory be a blessing.

Sorry to hear about Virginia, Condolences to the family. She was a huge inspiration and mentor. And a wonderful story teller. I am so glad I was able to visit her this last july.
She will be missed dearly, Rest in Peace cousin, you will be welcomed in heaven.

I am deeply saddened hearing the news of Virginia bidding us farewell.
We both had a love for singing and especially of Opera. Many special moments were shared on stage singing duets and ensembles in concert. She was well educated and well versed about Opera and famous singers of which she had quite an association with during her time on stage. She even hosted her own special T.V. program with Opera segments and singers.
She was enthusiastic about sharing her talent and continued singing well into her 80's. She would often tell me that "I vocalized to a high 'A' today.
Virginia always brought a smile and positive attitude where ever she went.
I will miss you so, Virginia, but hold many treasured memories of our times together.

I'm saddened to learn that my dear friend has passed. I first met Howard and Gini in 1973 when I worked at the Vancouver VA. Howard and I had an instant connection and began running marathons. My wife and Gini joined us at the British Columbia Marathon, late night desserts at the Holland, and hilarious date night movies that Gini often selected. I was fortunate to have spent a few precious hours with her this past June when she joined me for dinner at the Olive Garden. We talked about her life with Howard, and her love for singing. I will miss her ~ my condolences to Kathy, Steve and their families. May you rest in peace Dear Gini ~ Bob

Rest in peace Mom. You will be greatly missed and I appreciate the endlesss amount of love and support you gave me each and every day of the year! Thank you so much for being my rock of support!
