I love you Ginna, I will miss you so much. Thank you for being who you were. You were my Mamas best friend and you were there so much for her in her last days and I know she loved you so much and you have no idea how much I appreciate what you did for her. You were this families eldest person and I know with no doubt….loved by every one of us. You will certainly be missed so very much.
Most people believe that Our God in Heaven has a sense of humor, all I’ve got to say is that I sure hope he does because with Mama, Cecil, you and Mitch all together up there. He will have his hands full.
I’m glad God let me call you ‘My Aunt. I love you Ginna.
We are so sorry for your sweet and precious loss. Virgina was always so sweet to all of us kids. Loved her kindness and care….. we love you.

Dear Jimmy, Harry and family,
I am so sorry for your loss, but I know you are comforted to know she has received her greatest reward of being with her heavenly Father. I can only picture all the lovely ladies from Reed Memorial who have gone before her welcoming her with open arms. Can’t you just imagine that ? Family and loving friends once again together. I shall always remember her for her caring and loving spirit, and for being such a good friend to my mother. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for your loss
I am sorry for your loss. Virginia was a true lady of God. She would come to church cheerful and always with a smile on her face. She was an inspiration to me.
So glad I got to meet her this year on her birthday—-such a lovely lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Jimmy and Harry
You two and Blake and I all grew up together with both our mothers as our ‘handlers’. and referees. I’m sure none of us would change a thing about it! We were all so fortunate to have been born and raised by our special Mothers. I am so glad and happy that they are once again together, laughing…cutting up… trying to pronounce difficult words… and calling each other a GUMP!! Heaven is richer by far today. We will all miss her but also rejoice that we’ll all be together again someday. May God give you all peace and comfort.
Harry, while I never met your Mom, I know she was an angle as she raised one the nicest, most caring persons I know. She is now with GOD… hopefully she and Radine will stir things up there a little bit, but know you now have an angle still looking after you. My prayers for your heart to heal. Love you and Mark…
