My deepest condolences to the Chung and King family. I was intern at ITC and even in that short period that I knew Ginny, she made a huge impact on me - she was incredibly kind and had a positive, bright radiance about her. I find myself lucky I had the opportunity to get to know this amazing woman. My thoughts and prayers are to your family.

To the family, I send such great sympathy. I never was introduced to Ginny formally, but I saw her speak at a few tax seminars as a panelist. She was a precise mind, but more importantly, I remember her ability to communicate, convey and remind everyone of our humanity even while involved in complex technical matters. Certain people make a community stop and take notice....'THIS' is such a person.
