I was sorry to hear that Ginger had passed on, I met her a few years ago here in town and we would really enjoy visiting wherever we ran into each other. I also worked with her brother Ron on the Slope. My condolences to the family.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Saganna family. I was saddened to read about Gingers passing. Ginger had the most sweetest spirit, that was so special. Everytime I would see her, that sweet spirit made me giggle, as I gave her a hug. There are not too many sweet spirits like her in this world. She made her family and everywhere she went, special because of it. She will be missed.
God Bless you all as you put her to rest.
