It's hard to believe Ginny is not here and ready for our luncheons and visit. She not only helped many times in the classroom giving emotional support and laughter, helping parents and kids. She was always there even on our camping trips north with the kids. She made a difference in so many lives and will be missed. I am so glad she was a friend of mine. I know she will be there to greet me at the golden gates with a smiles and a story.

I worked with Ginny for 12 years. She was counselor to many severely emotionally challenged students and their parents. Ginny was beyond exception the best counselor I have had the pleasure to work with in my 35 years of teaching. She was wise and positive. She was intuitive to my needs as a teacher, and pushed me through many years when I wanted to quit and move on by encouraging me with pep talks and leaving notes of encouragement in my box. Her Coaching days came in handy then. Those who did not know her in this element missed a geat lady who helped many families. She went above and beyond what most others would do. She truly had a heart meant to guide others. Jean Manos
