Sorry to hear about Ginny. She was a wonderful friend of my wife, Jan. Ginny & Jan played plenty many rounds of golf together. Ginny & Guy golfed, bowled & partied with Jan & I many times in the Hampton & Newport area. Jan would be saddened to hear of Ginny's passing. They are in good hands together now.

I am saddened to learn of Ginny's passing. Prior to Alzheimer's taking its toll, Ginny was such an upbeat, energetic woman with a passion for family and golf. I enjoyed knowing her and Guy for many years as they planned their move to and lived at Patriots Colony at Williamsburg. She is now at peace in God's hands.

Ginny was such a wonderful friend of my mother Phyllis Bailey. Mom was saddened by the news of the passing of her long time golf partner. They had many, many great times together. Our hearts go out to you and we cherish the memories.
