Dave, John, and MIssy ,
I was so saddened to read of Ginny’s passing. She was such a strong person and I felt she was truly
going to beat this. We worked together for many years at Blair and had so many good times and a lot
of laughs. She was a true friend and will be missed by all who knew her. She spoke so often about
all of you and was such a proud wife, mother, and grandmother. You are in my thoughts and prayers
and may the comfort of God help you during this difficult time and may your memories give you
strength.
