Ging!
So sad to learn of this. Though so so long ago, you , the thought of you saved me more than once when in far away places.

My belated condolences to your family .

Can't think of Jupiter, Banana Max, or the 80s without thinking of you.

Love,

Craig, it is with the greatest sadness that I stumbled upon this obituary on the internet, I was a neighbour of Gingers' in Jupiter, but have lived in Ireland since 2007, and had been trying to contact her. When I first moved to the Heights in 1994, she invited us to her home, and was such a fantastic fun & friendly neighbour, my deepest sympathy to Dean & Nicole.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you Nicole, Craig & Dean. Love Julie & Bob Lynch

Oh no! I just found out about this from Facebook, she was my boss and friend at Too Bizarre back in 1999/2000. I have never had a boss that was so kind and generous to me. She was beautiful, young, fun, and thoughtful. She built my confidence and let me hang my artwork there. She was just a great person and I always hoped I'd see her again someday. My heart goes out to her beautiful daughter who she was so proud of. She used to always show me pictures of her little angel. I don't know what happened to Ginger, but she was certainly too young to go. A spirit that bright shines on...
