Dear Daryn, Mary, and Family: Please accept my apologies for not sending my condolences to you all before now, I sit here with tears streaming down my face as I fondly remember Ginnie and the wonderful friendship that we shared for over 30 years and it makes this seem all too real when I write my thoughts. I can't imagine what you all must be going through trying to navigate each day without her here. Our friendship began with her selling us our first home in Londonderry and we put down the deposit on her birthday. Ginnie was like family and so special to me, Andy, Miranda and Tiffany and I have so many cherished memories of laughter, tears, prayers, long talks on the lanai or sitting at the counter in her kitchen in Londonderry having coffee, hosting ladies bible studies in her home, holiday dinners at her home which she always made so beautiful, creating the church cookbook and the countless hours we spent doing that. Ginnie was always always there for me when I needed to talk and I miss that terribly as I am sure you all do as well, she was quick to pray with me whether it be over the phone or in person. I cannot tell you how much Ginnie helped me get through losing both my parents by sharing her faith with me, she helped me to see that by leaning into God He would help me through my darkest times in my life. I remember when she invited us to attend Londonderry Nazarene Church one Sunday as her dad was going to be preaching that day and so began my faith journey and I am forever grateful to her. I am so glad that Ginnie was there with us when our first grandbaby was born, it was a very special time as Ginnie and I spent the night at the hospital the night before Emmalyn's birth. I am so happy that Ginnie had the opportunity to meet not only our first grandbaby but also our only grandson Caison who instantly took to her and to Daryn when they met for lunch in Florida. I have so many memories that I will always hold dear to my heart and will close with the fact that every time we would end a phone call one of us would say "I love you" and then the other would say "I love you more" - so this time Ginnie I get to say "I LOVE YOU MORE". My love to all of the family, Andrea

Ginnie was a sister-cousin and we remained friends through life. The obit revealed that her favorite song was also mine. See you in the morning, dear one.
Love and sympathy to those who will sorely miss her.
