My condolences to Ginger's family. I went to Watkins but was a few years ahead of her. I however remember her as a teenager and her sweet little face as we would pass in the hallways at times. It's always sad to lose someone you know. My heart goes out to her friends and family and I want to let you know that you are all in my prayers. God bless all of you.
