I miss you Ginnie. I miss our cruises to the Bahamas on Templeton Tours "Singing on the Sea" cruise each year. I remember your laugh, your longing to get Diana and Nicholas the perfect souvenirs.
I remember my favorite dessert was the mango mousse and when you saw me eating it you wanted a slice. You were hooked after that.
You were part of an awesome loving family. They love you and you loved them.
Nancy, Carol and I love you and one day will all sit on that heavenly beach together again.
Love you
Prayers Roopnarain family and big hugs!!!

Ginnie, I will surely miss our cruising time every February! somehow shopping in the straw market will NEVER BE THE SAME! I know you are well and joyously enjoying time with Abi! Until we see each other again...I miss and love you!
Darrel, Sandy, grandchildren, (and all her extended family); Your mother, grandmother, etc...was a ONE OF A KIND woman! She was so kind and tender hearted! We will miss her very much. I encourage you to take one of the cruises in her memory...and enjoy all the things she did while there! It was always a special time...shopping for gifts for the family! she loved life but most of all LOVED HER FAMILY!
She and Abijet are enjoying their company together in heaven!!!
Nancy Koetter and I, Cynthia McClanahan are praying for GOD's Peace!
Love, your friends in Arkansas
