Tammy, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I never did have the privilege of meeting her, but hearing you talk about her over the years always made me see just how special she was. You did an incredible job caring for her and she was so fortunate to have you and Chris there with her to provide everything she needed. She couldn’t have asked for a better daughter and son-in-law. She fought a good fight and her pain is all gone now. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. She was such a special lady and I know, without a doubt, that she is with God looking down upon you all. I am so grateful for being able to meet everyone when I did the pictures last fall. She was loved and I know that you all will meet again.
Tammy, I wish that I could heal the pain that I know that you are feeling now. You were an amazing daughter to her. May the Lord send you peace and comfort during this difficult and sad time.
My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.Ginny was a kind woman and was loved by many. May God Bless you all.

So sorry to hear about Ginny’s passing. There are so many memories I could share but there just isn’t room. Just know that the whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love from my family to yours.
There are no words to explain what my Momma meant to me and how much i miss her i can say that we need to spend as much time as we can with the people we love because when they are gone thats one of the first things i thought about i’m sorry momma that i didn’t spend more time with you but it sure wasn;t because i didn’t want to or that i didn;t love you momma. this was the sweetest woman in the world and as i will miss her so much my heart has peace that she is now with the good lord above with no pains or worries walking the streets of gold. we just need to make sure that were right and saved so we can see her again. in love
Terry
