What an honor to call her my friend along with so many others that considered it a blessing to have her in their lives hearing her beautiful voice singing praises to Jesus with a smile and a glow on her face.Such precious memories.She was all about others and Jesus Psa 139:13-18 were very meaningful to her and it is very comforting to know she just fell asleep and awoke in heaven.HOW GLORIOUS!WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

I am so grateful for Ginny Kotynski, and the amazing life she and her husband Ed shared with so many of us. I have known the family since I was 14, had the privilege of seeing God work in the family when Ed rededicated his life to the Lord. I saw Alice, Eddie, Johnny, Bob n Fred come to the Lord in amazing ways. I also had the privilege of going to YWAM with Janet. So many Amazing Miracles!! I also remember Ginny sharing the years she prayed for her family n others. Truly an amazing woman who is now with her husband, son and grandson ... rejoicing in a job well done before the Lord!!
(...and, yes, we all remember Gertrude as well!!❤)
Love you all!! ❤
