Reggi, Steph,Stacey,Jason and families,
We wanted all of you to know how sorry we are for your great loss. We fell in love with Ginger the moment that we met her when she opened up her home to us and greeted us with her big smile and her caring ways. She was a wonderful grandmother to our grandchildren and taught them so much about the love and care of animals, it will be something that the children will never forget about the time they have spent with Grammie.
You all will remain in our prayers

Heartfelt sympathy to all of Virginia's family and friends. We were classmates at Plymouth-Carver High School. I remember her stories about the school bus rides from Cederville to Plymouth. She was a smart and beautiful classmate and will be missed by many. With deepest sympathy, Cheryl (Souza) Robbins, Classmate of 1964

Stephanie, Stacey and Jason,
You all may have a foggy memory of me..however your mom was the type of woman who certainly gave a lasting impression upon those she met. I had the pleasure of being your babysitter when you all were younger...jason was about 4 years old. Your mom and I ended up working together at King's in wareham and her smile touched many people. I am so sorry for your lost...Ginger certainly made the most of life when I had the privilage of knowing her..God Bless all of you at this difficult time. Losing a loved one under any circumstances is extremely difficult..Especially someone who could make someone's day with just a smile and a hug..Something we can all aspire too.

To all of Gingers' Family words cannot express the loss of a loved one. I thru the barn knew Ginger and could never thank her enough because she helped my find one of the big loves of "my life" Jingo my horse. Her knowledge and love of horses, what she did was passed on to all who knew her. Strong minded, Vivacious and kind are just to few words to describe Ginger. God Bless you all and many are thinking of you. Don't forget to tip your Western hat in her memory...she would like that...

I sit here and don't know what to write. I really wanted Ginger to win her fight with cancer. She was and will always be an inspiration to me and I only knew her from our brief chats during the year I have been working my dogs at the barn. I have told so many people, when I am 60 I want to be just like her. Doing what she loves, life filled with the training, caring and love of her animals, comfortable with who she is, sharp minded, opinionated. I don't know Ginger well enough to know if this is who she really is but that was the impression I was left with...and her beauty.

She trusted me at the barn in a way I haven't experienced since college where all the students were on a complete honor system. She took an interest in my dogs, our competitions and allowed me to achieve a National Championship on Split that I can guarantee would not have happened had I not been able to train at the barn throughout the winter.

When one of my students found the barn for me and I arrived a little over a year ago, it felt like it had been waiting for me. I remember calling my parents and telling them about Ginger and what she was going to allow me to do. I was amazed and never dreamed it would work out so perfectly.

Animals live such a short time and the greatest pain in my life has been the loss of my soulmate Sprite. The deeper the love, the greater the pain...and that is the drawback of loving so deeply. But I learned not to fear death when Sprite died. I knew someday what happened to him would happen to me and if he was safe in death, then so would I. And we would someday be together again. I believe souls that are so filled with love do not die and it was clear to me Ginger was unquestionably filled with so much love for her family and all the animals she had in her life. It radiated not only from her but from the family and grandchildren I met.

I feel so honored to have known her this past year. I will never forget what she did for me.

Ginger was a wonderful sister-in-law. It always was amusing how she was so full of hugs (we are not natural huggers). She was so full of life. We will miss her!
