Not sure what to say?

Greg, Diana and Betsy-
I just love you all so much, and miss Ginny. So many wonderful memories of time spent with Ginny, hilarious memories of us at Card-O-Rama, and of you three kids over the years.
Lots of love,
Steph

We were saddened to learn of Ginny’s passing. As neighbors (at Echo Farms), she was an absolute joy, and we truly valued our friendship. Ginny loved to share stories (or maybe “adventures”) of growing up in NYC. We will miss her and Miss Junie.

You remain in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Cherish the memories.

What a wonderful woman. A second mom to me. A true soccer fan. A Card-O-Rama superstar. Anytime I was at the mall, a visit to the card store was a must. Just to say hello and see her smile. She made you feel good important.
The Fellas loved hanging out at 5501 Green Dory Lane telling stories. We probably shared a little too much about our Wilde Lake and Columbia adventures. Ginny would give us a look of surprise or maybe shock. Boy you would almost feel guilty. And yet her accepting...

So many wonderful (and funny) memories with Ginny and Steph at Big Meadows, at White Grass in West Virginia. Also remember spending time with Ginny, mom and dad, Tony and Mary Jean and for a while the conversation was always about retirement and Social Security. I remember thinking “why do they always talk about this” and now 2 decades later I myself am very happy to talk about it. Anyway, love Ginny so much, loved visiting in NC and seeing all of you- so so grateful I had Ginny in my life!...

Always enjoyed talking to Ginny as I walked around the property. Her favorite subject with me was socceer and Messi

What a beautiful tribute to a woman I wish I had known! What a life!! Betsy, how blessed you are to have had her as "Mom". I am thinking of you and your entire family. Much love. - Nancy

I still remember you as if it were yesterday—when we moved into the neighborhood in Columbia and you and my mom and our families became instant, lifelong friends. Your laugh, your warmth, and your open heart are memories I will always carry with me.

You had a way of being there for everyone. Your home was always open, and you made so many of us feel loved and welcome. Family meant everything to you, and you made me feel like family too—especially when you showed up to watch me play...

I am so sorry to this. Sending my condolences to all of you

Sending hugs and prayers during this difficult time. Loosing a parent is never easy and seems like a part of us is gone too! Prayers for comfort and healing, Artie and Lori.
