To the Wolf and Santoro families:
I have such fond recollections of our high school days at IHS, Ginger was always so much fun with the very BEST smile ever - visiting her in Puerto Rico was a kick, and hanging out for bunches of years at the Santoro house was part of growing up. Am sure your hearts are broken, but your memories must be mounds high and will be certain to ease the load.
My thoughts are with all of you and sending bouquets of hugs to Ginger - I can still hear that wonderful laugh!

Dear Charlie,
I am so very sorry to hear of Ginger's passing. I worked with Ginger many years ago in the early 90s before Disney. She brought joy and laughter to all of us. She was an amazing person who I will never forget. Her light shines brightly still in those of us who were we fortunate enough to know her. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Charlie, I was in tears when I heard the news. I couldn't help but cry. You have lost the love of your life and your soul mate. I know the both of you had gone through a lot together during Ginger's illness, and yet have shared, as Nat King Cloe's song says, "unforgettable", precious times in life. You both will see each other again, in the life to come. My prayers are both with you and your beautify family that you and Ginger made together.

Ginger was a special person, one whom I've known from the 1950's, when she enrolled at Blessed Sacrament School in Chevy Chase. She was always a sweet, pretty, full of life lady....hard to believe she's no longer with us. God bless her and Charlie.

Charlie and Family,
What a sad morning to read of your loss. Ginger personified class, beauty and dignity. If you havent read it before, this poem may bring you a bit of comfort...
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around you
And whispered "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly slipped away
And though we loved you dearly
We couldn't make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Leslie and Howard Stein

Charlie and all of Ginger and your beautiful family, We we're so saddened to hear about Ginger's passing. She was such a beautiful, talented and most courageous treasure. We were honored to know her as a loving human being and were privileged to know and appreciate her inspiring work as a professional filmmaker. She will be greatly missed in this life although I feel certain she is an angel by now and on the shoulder of all her loved ones! And, I also believe God has picked out a special place in eternity for her to rest when she's off angel duty. May God bless and comfort you. Love, Mary & John Yerrick
