Mike, Stevie and Scott,
I was so sorry to read of your mother's death. I used to babysit for you in Jesup many years ago and learned so much about childcare as a result of those evenings. Your Aunt Donna and Uncle Doug and I were in school together and I want to extend my condolences to your entire family. Ginny was a sparkling presence in a fairly somber town. I know you'll miss her, but am confident she will remain bright in your memories, as she always has in mine.

I haven't been in touch with your mom/sister for awhile, but she was a very special person to me. She was a good friend to my mom, Betty Meyers, and when my mom was very, very ill, Ginny came and sat with her and helped us out immensely. She has had a very special place in my heart, I thought she was a wonderful person! I am so sorry for your loss. My sympathy to all of you.

I'm so sorry to read about Ginny. It's been awhile since I've seen her. I knew her from "SALT" bible study and she was a wonderful, positive spirit. I admired her perserverence and faith. To her family: May God's peace surround you and fill your heart right now. Your mom/sister touched more lives in a positive way than you'll ever know. I hope the good memories of her lift you up at this hard time.
