I loved this lady so much, she was such a an example of a "lady". She treated me like a member of her family. So sorry for your loss, thinking of all of you.

When our Aunt Ginger died this week my sister said to me, “I guess now we really are orphans.” She was correct. Ginger was our last aunt and the core of our family memories and relationships. She was our mother when we lost our’s. A woman who was down to earth, realistic, no nonsense, who never took herself seriously and who loved unconditionally. She kept us entertained with her deliciously wicked sense of humor. She was a woman of God who daily lived her faith. Someday we will be together again…until then, Dear Ginger, you will live in our hearts and our memories. In loving memory Randy, Dottie and Vern.
