To all of Ginny's family,
You have our deepest sympathy. Again Mike and I enjoyed her visit with us this past summer. She looked terrific. Just wanted you to know that I found some pictures of your Mom and Dad. Most of them were of your dad, but thought that you all would enjoy them... Love to you all,
Mike and Linda
