"I offer my sincere condolences to the family. My fondest memories of Ginny was the times we spent together talking our head off about every subject known to man. A very proper and dignified lady was what I respected most about her. She brought the fire when you needed a bad attitude burned up, and a gentle rain when you needed a healing. I'll always love and remember Ginny for the rest of my life. "
