Hi Amy! Some memories of your mom-
Singing in the choir at church with my Dad
Inviting me to stay with you and your Dad when my parents went to Europe, your mom working at the kitchen store in OC. She seemed like a fine, independent woman who loved singing and loved her family.

Amy and Family,
My sincere condolences on the passing of your mom. You were so wonderful to her in the past years since your father passed. She has missed him so and is now happily reunited with him. I know I will miss my conversations with her. She always made me feel special and she truly appreciated my "school adventure" stories. I'm so glad she is finally at peace. No doubt she is with the angels. I don't know anyone who prayed more than Ginny.
Love you all,
Barb Beal

I am writing this message for my Mother, who lives with me now and is suffering from macular degeneration and can't see well. We are so sorry for your loss, but we know that Ginny is in the Lord's care now and is no longer suffering. Ginny and my Mother have been best friends since the 7th grade together at Holy Angels, and high school at Hallahan in Philadelphia. When you're nearly 92 that's saying a lot. Thank you, Amy, for calling my Mother with the sad news, it meant so much to her. The Rothwell families will be in our prayers.

I remember your Mom singing at St. Augustine's. My Dad may have been in the choir with her. Your parent's were very kind letting me stay at their house while my parents went to Europe with the OC Cultural Arts Center. I remember their kitchen business and the beautiful home they had in OC on the inlet. Amy, thinking of you during this sad time. You were such a good daughter to care for her all these years.
