Memories and Condolences

Art, Mike, Mark, Angela and their families,
The service today was most appropriate; Ginny would be humble but would be very proud of each of you. I can see her presence in her children and I can identify the grandchildren by the stories she has told us through the years. Although having been removed by distance and somewhat by age, I have always felt part of your family. Your brief visits to Virginia have always been a treat for Charles, myself and my family. Ginny set a high standard in the measure of courage and dignity she showed through her illness. She was an example for me to follow as a child and she certainly will continue to be an inspiration to me. Art, we watched the loving care you gave to Ginny. It appeared to be so effortless on your part. We will be thinking of each of you and hope to see you soon. Linda and Charles
