I'm in shock and so saddened by the loss of sweet Ginger. I was one of her teachers at Bosse High School. She was a beautiful young lady, smart and sweet. She could always make me laugh and I'll always remember her along with her sidekick Sarah G. It breaks my heart that she is gone.

Sending condolences to Ginger's family and many friends I only met Ginger once through my granddaughter Carly Walton. Carly always spoke so highly of ginger and stated that the world was a better place with Ginger in it. I know she will be sadly missed by all her many friends and family. May she rest in peace and her friends , I am sure, will remember all her special qualities.
