Love you Ginny
I love and miss you mom I wish you were here
As teenagers, my cousin Ginny (Ginger) and I were very close. We were together it seemed a lot of time! We had so much fun together. Even though in later years we lost contact with each other, with both of us moving away to different states, when I saw her last November at my sister Dixie’s Celebration of Life, it was like old times. We laughed and shared! I love her and I felt our close bond was always there! I was so sad to hear of her passing, but what brings me comfort and joy is that she is with our Lord and is completely healed! My prayers are with Aunt Doris, Valerie, Junior and August and many family and friends who are saddened by this! Love you Ginny and I will see you again someday!
Ginny was my first cousin.
As a kid she was always very kind to me and always listened to what I had to say with enthusiasm. I was able to have a wonderful visit with her and found she became a Patriot’s football fan and a fan of Tom Brady’s cut chin as she said with a smile. She’ll be missed by all that loved and knew her.
My thoughts are with my Aunt Doris her family.
Sincerely,
Lee Dohse
