I was so sorry to read of Ginny's passing. I haven't seen you all in a long time, but, I have fond memories of Ginny when we were going to the Wellness Center. I was out of town and didn't know about her death until I got back on Friday.

Dear Gurdon,



I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but Ginny and I grew up in Ginter Park and started school in the same grade at Ginter Park Elementary and continued in school together all the way through TJ.



I have many fond memories of Ginny as well as class photos from Ginter Park, Chandler Junior High and TJ. I also have a picture of Ginny dressed up as a little Dutch girl in our 4th grade operetta.She was always warm and friendly, and will be missed by all who knew her.



Her death saddens be and my sincere condolences go out to you and your family.



Best regards,



Buddy Staples
