I always lobbed your mother , she was the closest thing I've ever seen as a real mom . She protected me , and gave me a safe place to be . Her prayers were with me and Stephen the night we were almost killed by a drunk driver . I do believe those very prayers saved our young lives . May God be with you , I know how hard it is to loose your mother . , love Denise .

I will always remember her humor, laughter and the wonderful friendship I shared with her. She was a strong woman and fought a hard medical battle for many years. I will miss her dearly. Prayers to all her family. Eileen Myrtetus

Dear Mike, Mary Catherine, Steve, and Carol Ann,

I am so very sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. Since receiving Mike's phone call my mind and heart race back to all the special times and wonderful memories that cover 60 years. Oh how I share your grief,--as a special part of my life died with her passing.
We will never in this life understand why your Mom suffered so very much with so many health issues. But praise the Lord, she suffers no more and what for us is a day of sadness is for her a Glorious Day.

How very sad for me to have learned from Mike last evening of Ginny. I was aware of health issues over the past year but, nevertheless, the shock of her passing is overwhelming. Although Ginny was my cousin, I always considered her as my sister. We grew up together in Floral Park, Long Island and, as kids, we were inseparable. As a little girl, her father called her "Tootsie" and so that name stuck for many years. Finally Ginny said to me and all other members of the family that she would, henceforth, not respond to the name of "Tootsie". I reminded her of that a couple of years ago and we both had a good laugh. Many memories are now flooding back into mind and one particular one I shall always cherish was the sight of Ginny and my Dad sitting at the kitchen table at 18 Granger Avenue competing to see who would consume the most out of a bucket of raw oysters! To all the members of the Dunn family I would like to tell you how much I loved Ginny. She will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers for the remaining days of my life.

Dearest Cousins & Family:

I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved Mother, Grandmother & Great-Grandmother.

Aunt Ginny was the epitome of kindness, compassion and generosity.
She also had an amazing sense of humor despite her own health problems. I remember us going to dinner when our Dad (her brother Jack) was in the hospital & she saw New York cheese cake on the menu. She told me "I really shouldn't especially being a diabetic but what the hell I will just adjust the amount of insulin! " Her days as a Nurse in the ER were equally amusing. She also gave me a better understanding of what our Dad went through in his younger days after his accident that changed his life forever. I truly believe she was his hero in the way she watched out for him as a young boy and through his terminal illness. She was my hero as well & someone I always looked up to.
I hope there is peace & comfort in all the wonderful memories & knowing that Memaw, Pepaw, Uncle Teddy, Aunt Agnes & Aunt Estelle, our Dad aka Uncle Jack & Aunt Ginny are all together watching over us.

With my deepest sympathy & love,
Mary Ann Halleran Figueroa
