What a wonderful gift Ginger has been to the parents and children at SCE. I was just saying at Thanksgiving how thankful we are that our daughter was able to attend the school. The level of dedication and care that Ginger provided to her baby birds was amazing. Our deepest sympathies to Ginger's family and associates.

This amazing woman has touched countless lives with her care and love. I can only imagine how much she will missed as your wife, mother, and grandmother, but I can tell you as one of her teaching staff, I feel a great emptiness. I pray for comfort for all of us, and feel so honored to have worked with her.

My family will certainly miss Mrs. Tucker and her smile around Stewarts Creek Elementary. Please know that you all are covered in prayer by us and many others from the Creek family. She was a blessing to everyone she met. What a legacy she left for all of the "Baby Birds". One of my favorite memories are the Kindergarten graduations for my sons. I have Mrs. Tucker to thank for those, and many other wonderful memories, from her time at SCE. May you all be comforted by those precious memories...
