Edna, Teddy, Virginia, Lorrie & boys,
I am so sorry Gary, Meghan & I can not be there in Virginia to offer support at this time of sorrow. I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with Ginger as we were more like sisters instead of cousins. Teddy you know how much I love you & am so glad we remain so close. I could sit and listen to Uncle Ted's deep Southern drawl for hours & I loved his telling of events. Edna, you are my Aunt that makes the wonderful coconut pies & cakes. We as a family are so fortunate to be able to have so many great memories to hold on to & cherish at a time like this. Know y'all are all in my prayers & in my heart now and always.

Love you,
Eugenia (Jeanna), Gary & Meghan Eisnaugle
