To the family;

God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arm around her and whispered ” Come to Me ”

Ginger was a very sweet & loving lady, we will miss her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Debra,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this tough period. Be comforted that your wonderful mother is in a good place with our Lord. Look forward to seeing you soon when you head down to Columbus. I’d like to hear all about your mom, if you are comfortable to talk.
