Dear Bill and Dawn and family, Marshall and I are just catching up on our newspapers and we saw that Virginia had passed. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. May she rest in peace and may the sweet memories soon replace the sadness of losing someone dearly loved.

Paul, William, Donald and Cathy:
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your precious Mother and my dear friend. Ginny was the kindest lady that anyone would want to meet. Each Sunday when I went into sanctuary, Gary and I would sat in the pew behind your Mother and Father. Before I sat down I would always go over and tell her how beautiful she was and get a hug and kiss. Ginny and I was in the Tuesday Bible Study group and sat side by side. I certainly know that this is one of the most difficult times for all of you. Remember that she has now been reunited with your Dad and is at peace. She is looking down on all of you. I am so sorry that I did not get to say my goodbyes, but I know that she knows that my thoughts and prayers are with her and also with each of you. God will walk with you in the darkest days and guide you and keep a watch upon each of you. I am so sorry that I did not know of Ginny's passing until late today. I had not looked at the computer nor read the paper due to the Thanksgiving Holiday and I opened the paper and saw her picture and was so shocked. I only wished that someone in the church would have called to let Gary and I know, but I guess they did not think about it. The last time I was in church she was not there and someone asked me about Ginny and of course, I did not know. I did see her name on the prayer list. Paul always kept me up to date when I worked in the church office and went to the bank on Mondays for the church.
Again, my thought and prayers and with the family and all that loved Ginny.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Cindy and Gary Brown

Aunt Ginny was a wonderful aunt and person who will be truly missed by family and friends. We send our love to my cousins and their families and friends especially at this time of the year. I so remember her cookies that we would continue to enjoy with my dad many years before he passed. God bless all the wonderful memories.

Aunt Ginny was a wonderful and lovely lady, always full of smiles, good cheer and love. We who knew and loved her will miss her. Heartfelt condolences to Bill, Don, Cathy, Paul, their families and friends for this loss. Being Thanksgiving, I imagine Aunt Ginny joining Grandma Nic, Pop Pop, Uncle Dick, and her brothers - my dad Edgar and Uncle Roger, for a loving family reunion. God bless her.

I worked with Ginny at Frederick County IDPA back in the early 1980's. She was always courteous and helpful to all of us. All who knew her will miss her. My condolences to her family.
