I have fond childhood memories of Ginny when we would go to Dayton and celebrate the holidays with Uncle Tom, Aunt Bonnie and family. She was always a beautiful and kind person. My deepest sympathy to Doug, Kristy, Uncle Tom and family.

Ginny, my dear cousin, we grew up together since we were toddlers, had fun as teenagers and I was in her wedding. We spent a lot of holidays and overnights, had some good times. I planned on her coming to Indpls this summer for an "overnight" but the Lord wanted her back so we will have to catch up when we meet again. Thoughts and prayers to her children and grandchildren and brother Tom. Rest In Peace Ginny.

Virginia, and it was always Virginia to me, was my first friend! She and I grew up on Farnham Ave. in Dayton and knew each other since the age of 5. Many, many fond memories....tents made of heavy blankets draped over the branch of their cherry tree; playing "statue" and croquet in the large yard and so much more. We laughed alot in those days. My heart goes out to her children, granddaughters and brother Tom and wife Bonnie. She was such a good soul. Bless you all.
