When I think of Ginny, thoughts of joy, kindness and faith come to mind. Always smiling when she came into the church office; always offering a word of encouragement and concern for others. She has been missed here.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory; and may all who love her receive the warmth of God's love as you travel through the days and weeks ahead.

Sweet Ginny will forever be missed. Spending time together during the game nights over at my husband's parents and family get togethers, leave me with only dear and fond memories. I can hear her laughing now. Just hearing that laugh made me laugh in the most authentic of ways; joining in on the joy, the secret, and the caper. Condolences to the entire family. Love and hugs to all.
