It is never easy to accept the loss of one you hold so dear. We ask the question, Why? Only the Father knows the answer, we just accept His will. Donna and I forged a lasting friendship that has spanned more than thirty years. Great memories were made and will never be forgotten. I will cherish them for the rest of my life. Christi, Jordan, and the entire Ginn family, you have my deepest condolences and prayers. Forever in my heart, Mrs. D
