I did not have the opportunity to see Aunt Gin very often, but the few times I did were quite special. After her visits, there was always a feeling of love and warmth that remained. One of my favorite childhood memories was visiting her home in Alexandria and marveling at the innovations of Uncle Bill. My daughter, Kim, met her only once and named her daugher after Aunt Gin and also my mother, Virginia Grace. Family is so important and it is so sad to loose a member.
Love always,
Candy
