I don't know if you will see this but I wanted to send my condolences. I am a former employee of The Wyngate where Ginny spent the last of her life and during my time there I got very close and attached to her. She was such a sweet woman. She never wanted for much except a good cup of hot lemon tea and company. I have very fond memories of Ginny. One time she told me that she was getting married the next day to the love of her life. She was the beautiful ray of sunshine that was definitely needed in that place. She would tell me that she was ready to go home, to the Lord, and that she was so tired and I would tell her not to speak that way and that she couldn't go without telling me goodbye. Needless to say, she would say goodbye because she would say she didn't know when she was going. The way in which she said it, however, was so optimistic and so hopeful. ..not negative and dreadful. I loved her so. I can only hope that I turn out to be half the woman she was. Fly high, Ginny. Your memory will live on forever.

To all my wonderful Cousins,My heart is sad for not being able to be with you during this time. Please know how much I love you all. Aunt Ginny was like a Mom to me too. She'll always have a special place in my heart for taking care of my mom till the end, and being there for me. I'm happy they are all together again. I hope knowing she's in Uncle Bernie arms again helps making her passing easier to accept...she missed him so much. May God bless you all. Love you

I not only lost an Aunt yesterday, I lost my God Mother. When I would go to visit, shewas angry that most or all of her siblings and Uncle Bernie left her here by herself.I grieve for my loss, but I have joy knowing she joined all of them in heaven yesterday.I have my memories of peanut butter faces, and standing in line to get our hair brushedinto a pony tail when we were young. To all my cousins you have my condolencesJane A Day & Shayla Day
