"My husband and I lived across the street from Ginny for a few years. We really thought a lot of her, she was a wonderful neighbor. We were so sad to hear of her passing."

"I bought my first house next door to Ginny and Harry 40 years ago. They were very good neighbors. Ginny always walked over to our house with Harry?s big shoes on. As life went on Ginny gave Christmas ornaments to our 3 children for years. We lost touch for a few years, but she always called my husband ?Andy? her boyfriend. She said we were the children she never had. I thank God I was able to closely share her life the last couple of years. Ginny may you rest in peace! Love you!"
