Ginny will be missed! She was fun to be around, with her joyfully light spirit and great sense of humor. I'm specially thankful for all that the entire Larson family did for my parents (Jack & Alice) when they were in the later stages of their life. God bless you all.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,

Ginny was a joy! Though I have known her for only a couple of years from church, she certainly was a wonderful Christian lady who never met a stranger. Your family was so lucky to know you for so many years. We, your church family, will miss you.

Ginny was my "other mother"!! I have many fond memories of camping with them, Carol and I out running around the campgrounds while Earl and Ginny played Canasta with Frankie & Johnnie!!!!

Ginny was one of the happiest people I've ever met. We used to laugh and laugh at the basketball games! She always came into the concession/kitchen at school to get coffee. I enjoyed our chats!! We will be praying for the family in the weeks and months ahead. Hallelujuah, we will see her again
