Turmail Family:
So sorry to learn of the passing of your Mother. She and your father were treasures to the Ladue School District and the many students and families who were fortunate enough to have contact with them. I was one of those students starting when the High School opened in the fall of 1952. I was blessed to have had both of them as Teachers.

Turmail Family- Sorry for your loss. Ginny will be remembered here for her support of all and example. She helped so many campers while she was here and kept the Turmail boys in line- or tried to! Thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Dear Jim and Sue, We were so sorry to hear of Ginny's death. She was a very special lady and always a joy to be with. I am sorry that we cannot be there on Monday...but Sharon's surgery has slowed us down. All is well with that. You and your whole family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Jim and Sue,
We're sorry to hear about Ginny. I knew her so briefly, but I'm sure you have so many wonderful memories to share. She seemed to be a fun-loving, smart woman, and I would have liked to have known her better.
Peace be with you and all your family.
