Another year has passed but nothing has changed. Miss you just as much as I did 17 years ago. Think of you every day.

Thinking of you today just like every other day. It's been 16 years but seems like yesterday. Miss you so much. Time does not heal all wounds.

Ginger . . It's been 15 years already since you passed. They say that time heals all wounds. Not true. A day doesn't go by that I ask why Duane, Vickie and I got 15 more years than you. You were the most thoughtful and generous of us three but God must have had a plan for you. When it's my time, I know you'll be waiting with open arms. Love you!

Ging, a month ago today you left us. I still drive to your apartment and want to pull into your parking lot and come in, like I did for so many years. But you're not there. I try to catch myself from dialing your phone number that isn't there anymore, either. I still do email you and will until I get an undeliverable notice. I hope you're reading each and every one as I tell you how my day went, knowing you totally understand as you always have. You could read my mind like nobody else...as vice versa. I love you, Ginger, and I miss you so much I ache. If love could have saved you, Ging, you never would have died. Sweet dreams, Little Girl.

My prayers and heart felt condolences go out to Ginger's family. I worked with Ginger many years ago at State Farm and was shocked to learn of her passing through a mutual friend. Ginger was always smiling, friendly and compassionate and I know will be sorely missed by all those who loved her.

My condolences go out to Ginger's family at the loss of a their beloved sister. I knew Ginger and her sisters, Kandy and Vickie, many years ago when we used to play softball on 70th Street when it was just a dirt road. I moved away and lost contact with Ginger and was deeply saddened to learn of her passing. She was a very caring and fun loving girl and I know she will be deeply missed by everybody who had the privledge to know her.

I knew Ginger for about 10 years and was terribly saddened to hear of her passing. I was fortunate enough to get to know her through her volunteer days at the Moose Lodge where she greeted customers with her lovely smile and worked many hours for barely nothing. She loved people and loved playing her pickles. She talked often of her sister Vickie and how much she loved doing things with her. I was a silent guest at her service and got to see first hand the love that her siblings had for their beloved sister. I am proud to have been Ginger's friend. I will sadly miss her smile.

Ging, a year ago today we were starting on what was to be our beautiful trip to Boston. I'm so very sorry it didn't turn out that way but you gave it your 150%, as always. You gifted me with so many splendid memories that I'll cherish forever. I love you.

Ging, it's been 10 days and nights now since you've left us. It seems like just 10 minutes ago and other times it seems like 10 years ago. I think of you every waking moment, every time I hear a leaf rustle in the wind, every time I look at the moon and stars, I see your beautiful face. Autumn was our favorite season as you always decorated for Halloween like nobody else could. I love you, Little Girl, and can't believe I still have to stop myself from calling your phone number and/or writing you an email 3 to 4 times every day...even to the point where you'd scold me for 'bothering' you so much! You are my precious Baby Girl and I'll love you and miss you til the day I die.

When I first arrived at ABS, Ginger was one of the first co-workers I met, a very nice person to talk to about anything.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy at the passing of Ginger. Although our paths have only crossed a few times in adulthood she and your whole family remain a cherished part of my childhood. We will see her smiling face again in heaven someday.

Ginger was my sister in law for almost 30 years. She was a true delight in every sense of the word. I was honored to accompany her when she needed assistance towards the end to make her doctors' visits, shopping, etc. We were pool playing buddies and it seemed like she always 'managed' to win. I will miss her so very deeply and was honored to be part of her family. She had the very best when it came to family....Duane, Kandy, Vickie, Kami and Jami. She truly loved Jacob, her 6 year old grand nephew who Kami religiously took to visit Ginger to help brighten her last weeks. We are all very lucky to have had the time with Ginger that we did. She's in The Lord's arms now and will suffer no more.

Ginger will always be a part of me as she has been throughout our entire lives as sisters and best friends. We shared so many great times and I have cherished memories of our times together. The last several months brought us so very very close and I am so thankful I was cradling her in my arms when she took her final breath at 1:06 a.m. Sunday, September 4, 2005. A part of me died with her at that moment but the promises we made to one another in her final days will be fulfilled. I love and cherish her more than anybody will ever know. Good Night, My Sweet Baby Girl.

My deepest sympathy goes to Betty and family. I have many great memories of growing up next door to Ginger and her family. I so often think of you all and wonder what direction life took you. I was very saddened when my sister passed on the news of Ginger's death. I know she will be greatly missed by her family and friends. God bless you all.

Early Sunday morning, I lost the most generous and loving sister. Vickie and I were blessed to have been with her the last week of her life. But I'll remember her as she was years ago . . a sister with a wonderful sense of humor and so much fun to be with. I miss her more and more each day and her memory will always be with me.

I'm sorry to hear about Ginger. Ginger and I were co-workers for a brief time in 1997/1998. We had some good discussions and some good laughs during our coffee and lunch time together.

My prayers go out to the family...I didn't know Ginger very well but I did know how much her sister Vickie loved her.
What a day of rejoicing it will be when we all get to heaven.
