We have such fond memories of Aunt Ginny. She touched our lives as she was a light to us. We want you to know we always saw within Aunt Ginny the importance of family and friendships and how hard she worked at nuturing them both. We'll miss her very much and we're comforted she's with her sister, Uncle Bob, and all the family who's in Heaven with her. They're all looking out for us all now. God bless Aunt Ginny and God bless you all.
