I just learned of Ginger's passing. She was a wonderful colleague with whom I shared part of my teaching career; a dedicated educator to those she taught; and a credit to those she assisted in so many ways.

I'm very sorry to hear that our Ginger has passed on . She was one of my Mom's favourite people - mine , too . We worked next door to each other on the main street in Essex and shared some good chats and laughs . She was very proud of her family , too . I'm asking God to guide her to her special place in Heaven with a pleasant journey and good company along the way . She deserves it . Peggy (Saunders) Miller

Lisa and Brian: I'm sure that this is a difficult time for you and your family. Your mom has always been a vibrant personality. I worked with her in Student Services when we were both with the Essex County Board of Education and also through OES, as you know. I'm sure the girls will have many memories of their grandmother. Ginger is at peace now. My hope is that you and your family will be at peace as well. God bless you all.

Dear Lisa and family: I am deeply saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. I first met your Mom when she taught me in Grade Two at Southwood Public School. I cannot forget when she visited me and my parents on the night of her wedding. That was Ginger, who later became a great friend and mentor. I can remember the pride and joy when she had you; such a beautiful baby you were. I know she will remain a constant in your family through you and your children. May she rest in peace.

Sorry to read of Ginger's passing. She and my husband taught together. I also would see her at the University Players performances as she volunteered there. She was a lovely lady.
My sincere condolences and prayers at this time.

I am sorry to hear of Ginger's passing. I hope it was peaceful for her. I went to school with Ginger and belong to the same OES chapter so have known her for a long time. May she rest in peace.
