Dear Vicky and Judy, She loved to have her whole family around her and I am truly sorry for your loss. I’ll always remember her sunbathing in the back yard. Standing holding on to a chair to get the back of her legs. She was a wonderful lady and I am going to miss her. Sincerely, Pat
Vicki & Norm, Judy & Ray — I hope that you, your brothers and your extended families can find comfort from one another. You have my heartfelt sympathy for the tremendous loss of your Mother. Thinking of you at this time.
My deepest sympathies to all her family. I liked her a lot. She was a very warm person with a great sense of humor. Your family was very lucky.
Ginny G! Your quick wit,impeccable sense of style and nazi focus on cleanliness will be missed! Impressive family legacy and second mother to hordes of friends who were lucky enough to know you. Hugs to my second family <3
My prayer for comfort for all of you as you spend thesee days mourning Ginny! She seemed to be always there for each of you as I could see. Hopefully you will have many smiles and good memories of her as the days pass. She was strong friendly and fun to be around, I refer to many years ago, when Vicki was 15 and a live in babysitter and friend and lived with us in I a purple room!
Ginny, you will be missed. Judy, you have the same spunk and humor, like a mini Ginny. Judy, you and your brothers and sister are a reflection of her life, her humor, and her smile. She will crack them up on the other side. Hugs and gods speed Ginny.
Judy, my heart is heavy for you today. Know that Ginny is resting easy and is always watching over you. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts ad prayers.
