Missing you dearly momma

I have so many good memories of Ms. Ginnie.. Wow, I cant believe Ms. Ginnie is gone. Ms. Ginnie was the coolest person I know, she didnt have a enemy and everyone path she'd cross, she left a postive memorable impression. Ms. Ginnie was a incredible person, she loved music and dancing. When she invite you into her home, she will make sure you're having a great time. I dont remember a dull moment with Ms. Ginnie, nothing but laughter and fun. No matter, where life has taken me, I'd always manage to visit Ms. Ginnie. Since hurricane Katrina it was impossible to visit her and haven't seen her in year, BUT I'm so happy I have so many memories of her that will always be with me. To Mr. Louis, you're in my prayers. Ms. Ginnie was your right arm. You loved her so much and she loved you just as much. I will keep you in my prayers during your time of mourning. God is with you, always.Love Kim
