I was devastated to hear about the passing of Ginny. A friend of mine for many years when I lived in Queens and Godmother of my daughter Colleen. We just found out when Colleen tried to visit Ginny and saw that the apartment was empty. We are very saddened with her loss and will miss her so very much. Though may years have passed since we saw each other, she was always in our thoughts and prayers. Our love and sympthy to her children.

What can I say Aunt Ginny... you were my idol! I remember I always loved the way you looked and that laugh was infectious. You were the "Cool" Aunt. I remember going to Brighton Beach with you & my mom & our visits to Brooklyn. Love & miss you! Agnes

On behalf on my mom, Frances. When Bryant told her that her baby sister had passed she said she just wishes she can see one more time and is saddened as we all are. Bryant reminded her to think of all the good times and of course the times they probably got in trouble together and that made her smile.

I will miss her so very much. She was more then an Aunt to me. She was more like a good freind, who was so much fun to be around. I will always cherish the memories at all of the partys we use to have. I am sorry to all that loved her. Love, Gail Albertson
