I will always remember your mom when we were in high school. Lake days meant she was always in the boat encouraging us to "get up" skiing. Such fond memories!
She was a real cheerleader, never
wanting us to give up. She continued to try to stay up and never give up through the rest of her life.

Dear Sherry, and Carpenter family,
I´m so sorry to read of your mother´s death. My late mom, Liz Robbins, enjoyed Ginny´s friendship for decades; and of course, my family has so many Mount View memories with all of you Carpenters as well. I´m thinking about you...
Sincerely,
Jeanne Robbins Harrington

My mom really enjoyed your friendship at Hickory Villa. The joy she shared when she came to my moms birthday party with a Mariachi band brought much happiness to our family.
