Sandy, Chuck, & Jamie,
I was deeply sorry to hear of your loss,
and want you to know, I care.
Your mother always had kind words to say to me,
and many of the times, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
She will be greatly missed.
If you ever need anything,
you know I'll be there.

Ginger was a special person who always had a kind word and a big shoulder; she helped me through a difficult time in my life and I will always be grateful. The world lost one of it's angels and a good friend. She could cook your troubles away, good food and good old common sense were certainly her claim to fame; she always had time for her friends. May God watch over your family and comfort them during this sad time. You're in my prayers.
