Ginger has been gone for almost a year, but I just found out tonight. I am her cousin. When we were kids, I would stay with her while Mother stayed with Aunt Myrt and we all visited family there. I have wonderful memories of our childhood together. I am so very sorry for her early death. She was a very special person!

Tommy, I am so sorry for your loss. Ginger was a great example of what a wife and mother should be.

I am so sorry to hear of Ginger's passing, but we know to be absent from the body is to be in the presences of God. There is no doubt in my mind Ginger is in the presences of our Lord. She was a great friend, a good mother and a believer in Christ. When you left her you would know these thing about Ginger; first and foremost she love and worship God, she loved her family, and most importantly she wanted you to know God too. She was a friend in Christ and for one I am going to miss her. So sorry for Your loss. Brenda Suggs

I first met Ginger as a fellow member of the young married class at Hiland Park in the early 70's. What a warrior she was--as a wife to her Tommy, as a mother to her wonderful children, but mostly as a witness for Jesus Christ. The example she set for all of us will live on. With much love and appreciation,

Ginger saw the BEST in me and encouraged me to feed my hunger for the Word of God. She was the first to speak ministry into my life which was the beginning of a my journey to serve our Savior. Her motto was "Increase the Peace" and for those words, her time, and her kindness, I am blessed today!
