I am so sorry to hear about Ginny. She was such a wonderful person. We worked together for many years at JCP Westland. I learned so much from her. She was my mentor but most of all, my friend. Prayers to Dave and the family.

Renee and I were Dave and Jenny's neighbor from 2003 through 2019. She watched our family go from just the two of us, to three, then four, and finally five. Jenny was a woman of high character and we are happy to have known her.
Dave and Jenny's faith is steadfast, and we know that we will see her again in the presence of our Lord.
