So sorry to learn of Ginnie's passing. Our Mom and Dad were very wise to make sure my siblings and I had regular exposure to such a fine family as the Sutermasters. Ginnie and Jerry we're always a source of wisdom and wit. We will certainly miss yet another one of those ties that bind us, leaving us to rely on many fond memories.
