Not sure what to say?

Barbara...so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what you are feeling, I have now lost both of my parents. I want to say she was one of my very favorite people when I was a child. I loved her leading in our Girl Scout troop era. She will always be remembered to me, through that, cause the Girl Scout days are some of my best memories. Praying you will find comfort as you go on this journey.

My family met Ginny and Wendell several yrs ago camping in MN. They shared their campfire, stories & warm hearts. My then sm daughters loved them & they reminded me of my folks whom I'd recently lost. My husband &I shared their love of wildlife &wild places . We talked conservation,gardening, travel& books. Ginny lived a full life, loved much & will be missed

The sweetest voice one has ever heard will now sing with the angels and will always be in our hearts. Ginny's generous and gentle spirit graced Carlisle in countless ways, every day. She was a guide who led by example, opening our eyes to the natural world, the needs of humankind locally and globally, and the confident competence girl scouts could attain. She was and remains an inspiration.

Wendell, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Ginny had a special spirit of kindness, graciousness and generosity about her that will be sorely missed.

Barbara, very sorry for your loss.

Ginny blessed our lives in many, many ways. She was like a mother to us, and a grandmother to our children. She and Wendell supported us as we started our professional life in Carlisle. She taught us the love of birding, and led us on adventures into the wilderness. We watched Haley's comet with her one winter night. We love you Ginny, and thank God for you!

I had the honor of caring for and getting to know Mrs.Kingsolver @ Central Baptist. I loved her stories of life adventures! Your family is in my prayers today
