To the Roberson Family,
I worked with Ginger at AIG. To me she was so helpful and a joy to work with. As I person, I never met her, however could tell by her voice how genuine she was. We spoke of each of you and she loved you so very much. I know her spirit is still with you and will help you through this difficult time. Your family is in my families prayers.

Ginger will be remembered as a dear friend and mentor. She was a co worker at AT&T and a customer of mine at AG. I have many good memories of Ginger. I know she had great belief in God and this strength is what carried her over the last several years.. She will be with us in days ahead. God bless you in and your family.

Bill and family,
I am so sorry to hear of our loss of Ginger in our lives. I worked with Ginger at AT&T: she, the voice network designer; me, the data network designer. She was also instrumental in getting me in front of the hiring manager at AIG Retirement, my current employer.

On a personal level, I was always impressed with Ginger's ferocity when confronting her various health challenges, and I must say that's what I will carry with me as her legacy to me.

While I know you know this, you must know that many other people knew that Ginger was a special person, that we will all miss immensely. The world is a smaller place without her.

Bill,

I was shocked to read about Ginger's death. I remember fondly my years working with her at Southwestern Bell in Houston. You and your family have my deepest sympathies.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Wife, Mother, and Grandmother. I worked with Ginger on and off for many years during our tenure at AT&T. She was a lovely woman, generous with imparting her knowledge to me, never too busy to answer my many questions. Ginger was the person that taught me what a "spreadsheet" was. She kept saying she made this and that spreadsheet and I'm thinking what is a spreadsheet. That tells you how long I knew her! I remember the pictures from her travel to China, I know she really loved that trip. I hope and pray that God blesses you with peace knowing that she is in His hands and He will take very good care of her.
