  1. Ginger I enjoyed working with you over the years and seeing each other at the barn. You kept Dr Navon straight over the years when he was there and most recent Dr Joseph. Both of those tasks were not easy! You will be greatly missed! I am praying for Jayne and Jared as they cope with this.

  12. Because I have been a patient of Dr. Navone, Sbarboro, and now Dr. Joseph, I had the privilege of becoming acquainted with Ginger who scribed for them. She had a quiet, professional manner, always attentive to my needs!
    John and I will miss seeing Ginger!
