David, I am so sorry to learn of the loss of Ginger. Being a classmate, I have a lot of great memories from school, like how quiet she could be, but not always so innocent. She always treated everyone the same and always with respect. My heart goes out to you and all of your friends and family for her loss.

I have such fond memories of living beside ginger during our high school years. We had a lot of small town adventures that ginger shared with us and will cherish those memories.

Ginger was sincerely interested in how you were doing and always asked how things were going in your life. I enjoyed talking with her and she expressed her care for others in the way she spoke to you. She was always faithful in sending me a Christmas card each year and that simple gesture meant a lot to me. She was a true servant and faithful to her brothers and sisters in Christ. I will miss her smile! David, you are in my prayers and and know that God will never leave you or forsake you.

David, I'm so sorry that I must miss the funeral today, but in light of the Governor's directive I think it's best I stay home. It was not easy to make this decision and my heart breaks for you. I don't think I ever remember seeing Ginger without a smile on her face and something positive to say about everyone and everything, even if she was upset. I will miss her very much and please let me know if you need anything.
Love,
Molly Morgan

Ginger will be missed. I worked with her for about 3 years at the diocese and enjoyed our talks and considered her a friend. My heart is broken for this wonderful, kind lady. Prayers to you, David and to her cats that she considered her children. I know God has welcomed her into heaven.
