Ginger,
As the days go by since you have been gone, I feel a hole in my heart bigger than I ever imagined would be there. You were not only my mother-in-law, but one of my best friends. I feel so blessed to have had so many days with you. I knew from the first time I met you that you were something special--someone that has touched my life in more ways that you will ever know. The way that you embraced me and my children and made us your own has meant more to me that I can explain. Thank you for the talks, the walks, the laughter, the shoulder and the ear when I needed it. Thank you for the gossip, the giggles, the secrets and the stories and the unconditional love and support you have shown Brad and me. I cling to each of them and hold them so close to my heart.
The very thought of my baby missing out on you is one that I can hardly even stand to think about and is almost too much to bear. I think of you everyday and the crazy, silly things I wish I could call and tell you about.
I love you so much it hurts and will live the rest of my life hoping to make you proud.
I promise to take care of Tom and make sure he is okay, just as I told you always before.
I love you and miss you!! And I cannot wait til we see each other again.
Love always and forever, Eva

Tom-
I was saddened to hear that Ginger passed. She kept in touch and was glad to see her back in Omaha. I will miss her smiling face. You are in my prayers. (Bag N Save) Becky

To Tom and Family:
Virginia was the brightest star in the crowd - the one who knew what to say to cheer us up and make us feel good. She cared so much about her husband, her daughters and their families and was so proud of them. She had wonderful stories and was such an expert in telling them. Virginia touched so many lives in a positive way and will be forever missed. With love -

Ginger was a kind beautiful soul.Her smile lit up any room she was in.She and Tom were a very special couple and were so blessed to have each other. The only reason that I can see for her passing now is that God needed her in Heaven. Many precious souls are being called home at this time. Tom please know that we, especially Freddie ,love you and will do anything we can to help you through this terribly hard time.Ginger, though you may not always be able to see her, will always be nearby and will be looking out for you.We are both very very sad and want you to know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Jan and Fred.xoxoxoxo

Ginger,
I cannot begin to tell you how many lives you have touched. You have touched mine in ways you probably didn't even realize. You had such an impact on so many people and I am so very thankful for the sincere friend & mother-in-law you have been to my siter. She is truly blessed to have had you in her life & she is devastated to lose you. All of your family and friends are heartbroken, but we know you are a beautiful angel in heaven now and will watch over everyone from there. We will help take care of Tom for you. Until we meet again.....
Sis, I know this is terribly painful for you and it breaks my heart to see you go through this. I know you loved Ginger & you two had a very special relationship. I really enjoyed seeing the two of you so close. I know it is hard to know she wont be there when the baby is born, but I know in my heart..... she'll still be there. I know Ginger helped you through the heartbreak of losing Grandma just 5 months ago, and I want you to know that I am here to help you through this. We are here for you and Brad & the kids. Please let the family know that we are thinking of them and let us know if we can help any of them with anything.
Tom, we are so sorry that you have had to say goodbye to Ginger. Our hearts are broken for you. She was truly a beautiful person. Please call us if you need anything at all.
