Ginnie,
I miss your strength, courage, and sincerity. Your inspiration gave so much hope to those with similar challenges. I'm glad you are at peace and not in pain. However much we needed you--God needed you more in His great plans. Thank you, Ginnie--my personal Angel.

Dear Beth and family,
My sincere condolences go to your entire family at this difficult time. Ginnie was a wonderful and courageous woman. She had such a spiritual impact on my life at CONVO '97 in North Carolina and I will always remember her for that.
God's blessings to you,

I am going to miss our volleyball talks. I was fortunate enough to know Ginnie first through her great coaching of my daughter, and then through the children I coached and brought to her from St. Anne's. I am really, really going to miss our volleyball talks. The Keller family sends their deepest condolences to the Rohn Family.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel in the loss of Ginnie. She was so full of life and her smile and contagious laugh just lit up a room. She fought a coragious battle with breast cancer and NEVER once complained. She was always positive. I remember when she was diagnosed, she told with a smile, "I will beat this, I am not giving up." I will miss our weekly chats about Ohio State football and Phillies baseball. She always rooted for the Phillies for me as I rooted for Ohio State for her. We clicked from day one when we talked about Jackson and Harrison. I will miss the updates and pictures she would share with me. I feel so lucky to have known her. When I would see her and ask her how she was, she would reply, "Fabulous". I know her smile and laugh are lighting up Heaven. I will miss you Ginnie until we meet again. It was truely an honor knowing you and being my friend. God Bless.

Thinking of all of you during this time. Although I have known Sue and Beth much more than I did Ginnie, I explained to my husband that when you love one Rohn sister, you love them all. You are just that kind of family; may God's love embrace you in this difficult time.

Wow... I didn't realize Ginny had cancer. I'm so sad to hear this news. We went to Indian Valley South together and my dad was the preacher of the Methodist church and her dad was the preacher of the Moravian church so we always had something in common. She was so active in the church and God must need her in heaven for some heavenly duties. :) Love and prayers to the family. She will greatly be missed by all that knew her.

What stands out in my mind about Ginnie in the days following her diagnosis, is the strength she drew from the Father to keep her "Living" while she was physically dying, she was a wonderful co-worker and an amazing testament to the wonders of Christ.... The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk on my high places..Habakkuk 3:19...

Denny, Karen, Beth, Sue and family:
Words are so hard to find... My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time... now that Ginnie's suffering is over, yours begins with the empty space she leaves behind.
I will always treasure the memories of our time at Moravian and the year we were roommates. Gin's optimism and fun loving personality were infectious and she brightened any room she was in.
The angels are lucky to have her with them now - I know Gin and Kay are smiling down and watching over you.

Denny and family,
Our deepest sympathy upon the passing of Ginnie - there are no words. I have typed so many things here, only to backspace and retype, hoping to say something reassuring. Our only true comfort comes from the Lord. Thank God for His promises and that we can hold onto those. No more pain for Ginnie ever again.
Please know that all is handled here at home, and if there is anything I can do, I'm a phone call away. You are all in my prayers.
With love, Mary & Family

To the Rohn family,
I will always treasure my time as a colleague of Ginnie at LHS. Chatting in the faculty dining room or in the basement hallway of the Commons are some of my fondest memories. I will never forget when my daughter decided to take some business classes her senior year in order to help decide what she would major in at college. She took accounting 1 with Miss Rohn, and said one day," I don't really like accounting, mom, but I do like the teacher." That's the kind of person Ginnie was. I will miss her, but know that she is at peace.

To the Rohn Family: You are in our prayers daily as you experience this painful loss. Certainly Ginnie left this earth far too soon and suffered far too much, but it is obvious that her life has been a beautiful witness to her faith in our Lord and Savior as evidenced by the many testimonies to her love for and dedicated service to so many. And we know her memory will continue to offer hope and encouragement to many in the years to come. May God comfort you and all who mourn Ginnie's parting. Carol and Keith Dague

Denny and family. My knowledge of Ginnie was always limited to what Brian would tell us. But that was plenty! Always great things and I know she was a major influence on his life. For that we are so very grateful. Prayers for you and all the family as you cope with her passing. Thank you for raising such a wonderful daughter who affected our son in such marvelous ways.

Dear Denny and family my heart goes out to you and your family. Jesus said that in His Father's house there are many mansions.

We will continue to keep you in our prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss. Although our faith is to believe

Miss. Rohn was an amazing teacher and person. She taught me all that i know about business and accounting and it helped me with my career today and i am very greatful for that. She was always smiling & always made sure that everyone else had a smile on too. She had a great impact on the students she had at Liberty and that will never be forgotten.
Your family is in my heart & prayers. Rest in peace.

Ginnie, I watched you as a little girl, one who possessed a huge heart and a calm presence. You grew into the kind of woman that anyone would be proud to know. We will miss you but I know you are with God's angels, watching over your entire family.
I extend my sincere condolences to the Rohn family. I am so sorry that you are losing temporarily such a sweet presence in your lives. You are indeed fortunate to know that our Father in heaven is watching over you and will comfort you and give you His peace. May He bless you all.

September 27, 2011
God looked around the garden, and found an empty space. He looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful for he only takes the best. He knew that you were weary, and he knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never be well on earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine.

To the entire Rohn family,
The Emmaus HS Girls Volleyball family extends their deepest condolences on the loss of Ginnie. An advocate for the development of young women through the sport of volleyball, she truly exemplified the word "athlete".
We met Ginnie 10 years ago and have had the privilege to be impacted by her and her life. Our girls have learned first hand how to perservere, be determined, have goals and to be strong through Ginnie. We have learned to overcome obstacles, laugh when times are tough and that hugs make you feel better because of Ginnie.
We received a gift 10 years ago -- to have Ginnie as a friend -- and that is something we cherish every day.
As we try to find solace in this difficult time, we know a few things. Ginnie has won her battle and is now with the Lord watching over us all each day. We, who have had the pleasure of knowing Ginnie, have also won. She has given us life lessons that extend far beyond this earthly life. Lessons we can give to our children and grandchildren...and for that, WE ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!
Thank you for allowing us to be part of Ginnie's life! We celebrate her life and will always remember the gifts she gave to us.
With Love,
The Entire Emmaus HS Girls Volleyball Family

I did not have her as a teacher at Liberty, but I knew of her. She was such a wonderful lady who was always smiling. She did so many great things while at Liberty.
She may be gone, but will never be forgotton.
Cherish all the wonderful memories that were made.
May God Bless you and your family at this time or sorrow.
