To all the Lapp kids,
I remember your Mom as one of the sweetest Moms at St. Mary's! She had 6 kids, but was at every school function, games and science fairs! It was in the days when every kid knew everybody's parent, and she was one of the best. Thoughts and prayers to all of you, what a loss. Special hugs to Mike and Chris, the duo I knew the best!

Ginny was the gold standard of mothers and wives of the Lapp family. She taught her children well. If you arrived unannounced at her house at meal time, you were fed. If you had a problem, she listened. What wonderful memories she has left for her family; I hope they will help to override your grief.
