If Virgie was only interested in money, she would have been one of Anna's enablers, but she remained the feisty, concerned mother - reason for the estrangement.
After Marshall's death Anna surrounded herself with leeches who fed her ego, destroyed her soul and replaced her home-town values with depravity.
There may have been periods when Anna reclaimed her hometown roots, as a mother, but too late - she was stuck in a world of scums, bums and phony mums.
As a result, she is dead, her son is dead and her daughter has only one grandmother going through hell to save her.
Virgie was the only one to step up to the plate for Daniel and say..."Drugs....Bull!!"
