I am deeply sorry for your loss. Please know that I am with you during this difficult time. I always appreciated Ginger for her strength and the love she had for her family and children. Her example of courage and devotion leaves a lasting impact.

Sweet Cousin,

I will miss you and know that we will all see you in Heaven again with your beautiful smile and beautiful face.

As a slightly younger cousin of yours, I remember Grandma (Edna) sometimes would ask me if I wanted to ride with her up to your mother’s house (Aunt Carol’s) when you were a teenager at home living in Richardson. I was always so eager to go because I would love to swing by and visit you in your room and marvel at the beautiful porcelain Joseph Original Birthday Vintage Figurine Dolls whereby each (I do think they were Hallmark dolls but had this artist on the versions you had) little girl statue was standing in front of a number and you had one for every year on your birthday, starting ( I believe) at age 1, and so on. They were so beautiful, and I always loved to look at them.

I always looked up to you in admiration because you were always slim, beautiful, and your family all have amazing facial structure (bones) that are model like (high cheek bones and almost chiseled jaw lines like a model in a magazine.

As I was a bit younger, and somewhat of a nerd, when I came to your home with Grandma, there were many times you were not home because you had such an amazing personality and had so many friends, participated in school activities, and all that you sometimes were busy with school activities, friends, and all. I do remember some of the conversations we had, and you were always so well-balanced that you would be in your room doing your studying for school and I enjoyed just visiting with you and hearing about the wonderful activities that went on in your beautiful life.

You were super smart, and I remember a few of the conversations we had and remember the connection and memories had some depth to them and truly will cherish all the great memories.

Your family loves you so very much. Peace my beautiful cousin and I shall see you in Heaven and will hug you first thing. 

Love always, 

Cousin Crissavol

My niece, Ginger Carol was one of my favorites. Her mother, Carol Golden Crowley was my older sister.  Ginger was beautiful, poised and delightful just like her mother who we lost several years ago to breast cancer. 

Ginger was the youngest of four children and a wonderful, unexpected bonus in her family. Laurie was 12 years older than Ginger just as I was 12 years older than Laurie.  One of my favorite moments was in January, 1969 when I went to the hospital to see my sister and to meet my new niece.  When I arrived there was an aura around the new baby who was cradled in her daddy’s arms.  Bob was dazzled with his new baby girl.  She was so beautiful.

Growing up as a child Ginger was remarkably smart and friendly. She loved her pet gerbils. Once when the family went on vacation I agreed to come by the house to feed the gerbils in her absence.  Unfortunately I accidentally left the cage door unlatched and they escaped into the house. When they returned the gerbils were nowhere to be found.  Ginger was heartbroken.  She did not hesitate to chastise me for loosing her gerbils.

It was such a pleasure to watch her grow from a bright little girl to a gorgeous young woman and to follow her through college, then marriage and motherhood. We all lost a shining star with her passing.  She is a reminder to all of us to cherish our time together and keep the pictures of her in all phases tucked safely in our memories. By keeping her in our hearts and minds her presence will live on for many years to come. 

GINGER:

You are now a beautiful angel flying gracefully in your new home in heaven. Till we meet again. Love, Aunt Marti
