To Ginny's Family,

I was very sorry to hear about Ginny. I had worked with Ginny for many years at both Spillane & Epstein and Epstein, Lipsey & Clifford. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and will miss all the laughs we had. She was a sweet and caring lady who will be deeply missed. Please know your family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ken & Billy, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mother. I worked with Ginny for many years at S&E and again at ELC. There are no words to describe the special lady that she was. I can still hear the joy in her voice talking about her beloved grandson - the light of her life. Ginny was quiet in her way but we could sure get her going at times and her sense of humor and fun loving ways would come out - she would tell us stories of her youth and stories of the antics of her sons growing up!! Ginny was a quality person - the best. I will always remember Ginny with love and affection. Rhoda Lennon
