Once in awhile I look up old friends and classmates that I was close to as a youth. I was speaking to my husband about Ginger and he said I should look her up. I was shocked to find this.

To the Woodward family, Angela (Spouse), and the children,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Ginger and I attended school together on and off and we're best friends for awhile. In our youth, we would take turns spending the night at each other's house when her Dad was stationed at Great Lakes Naval Base. We would run into eachother as our dads were at the same bases at the same times. The last time we had met up was in 1982. She was a wild and crazy, wonderful friend.

I don't know if any of the family still reads this board but I just had to post to it. I'm so sorry Ginger is no longer here and am sending prayers, even if they are late, to you and yours.

Ginger... You showed me a side of life that made me a better person. You touched my heart and made me smile. There are a lot of things in life I'd like to do over but having met you and the time I spent with you isn't among those. Such a sweet & deep running heart, soul and spirit! Thank you for blessing me with your light, presence and love... You will be deeply missed and forever remembered...
