    My best friend for more than 50 years. I'm devastated that she has died, even though I knew her health was not good. I wish someone had told me she died, but I understand. Ginny and I met when we were 10 years old, going into junior high school. Her...  more

    I remember when Ginny came home from the 'Cradle" in Evanston. It was a very big deal to add another cousin to a large group of us, especially in this way. I remember she was very pretty. I was about 11 years older. Soon I was allowed to baby sit...  more

    I am so grateful for Aunt Ginny and cherish the memories I have of her. She was a role model of strength, commitment, love, devotion, and selflessness. Words can not describe how much I will miss her.

    We knew Gin’s death was coming, but it is devastating nonetheless. As Hugh’s mum would say (in her English accent), "Ahhh, she was a one." Those of us lucky enough to have known and loved her, and been loved by her, are better people for our...  more

    Though I didn't see her much in recent years, Ginny was one of my favorite people in the world.
    During college in the summer of 1963 Granny employed me as her "tutor" to do odd jobs and look after the younger kids at...  more
