Peggy, Kathy and family, I’m so sorry. What a beautiful woman. Love to all of you.
Mary and families. Sorry to hear about your Mom. She always so nice. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Lynch family, I’m sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a wonderful woman, a very classy lady. I used to live across from you guys on north tenth street and I babysat Mary and Peggy almost every weekend! Your parents were always going to Jim’s games! They were always so nice to me and my family! Thinking of you all at this time!
I used to babysit Kathy, Jimmy, and Tommy, you lived across the street from us. Your brother, Tommy, was at our house everyday to play with my brother Randy. I remember when Tommy passed away, it was so hard, as he was at our house the day before he went to the hospital. I prayed for your Mom and Dad then, so they can heal from that tragic loss.
You are in my prayers, your Mother was a wonderful person, as well as your Dad.
My mother, Esther, is living with us, and she remembers Ginny as a wonderful neighbor.
God Bless your family,
