Aunt Ginny always had a smile on her face and kind words on her lips. To me, she was the epitome of Christianity. I will miss her dearly. It was just a couple of months ago that my husband and I took our two youngest children to visit Aunt Ginny and Uncle Dick. I'm so glad we did. She told us of a story about when they babysat for Stacy and I when we were very young, before Jay was born, I believe. It was sweet to hear her remembrances of us as children and of her sweet memories of her sister, Helen (our Grandma Riggs). May God's blessings be upon Uncle Dick and the rest of the family as we mourn the loss and celebrate the life of "Aunt Ginny".

My thoughts and heart go out to Uncle Dick and all of our family members as we mourn the loss of such a dear and wonderful person.

Aunt Virginia always called me Jay Perry to remind her of her father and it always made me feel very special. I was so happy to take my girlfriend and spend time with her this summer.

She and Grandma Riggs can be together again with God. I will miss them both and hope I will be fortunate enough to see them in the next life.

God Bless and take care.
