I did not know Ginny personally but I do know her daughter Elaine Smith whom is such a loving, caring, and giving person that I know that she learned much of that from her mother. Elaine always speaks kindly of her mom and I know that she will greatly missed. Her journey here on earth may be done but knowing that she arrived at the pearly gates of Heaven has to give her family great comfort. You will see her again and what a day of rejoicing that will be. I pray that the family will allow their friends to help them though this tough time of transition for them. Remember your mom's love for you and she lives forever in your hearts.
