GINNY, May your kind spirit live on in each and everyone of us that you left behind. I know it was unexpected, certainly not planned. You left us all with an amazing gift, the gift of knowing you even if it was for a short time. We are all richer and wiser because of you.And because of you, I think we will all love each other a lot more than we did, because you serve as a constant reminder of how short life can be. Be kind to one another and enjoy the day because right now that's all we have...
