I was so sad to read about Ginnie's passing. She was always a real lady. I have fond memories of her as a neighbor and good friend to my Mother Dorothy Genal. I still have a gift Ginny had given my Mom for pet sitting or something like that. I think of your Mother every time I look at it. She was a wonderful,delightful and kind person. She will be dearly missed.
