  • We were blessed through years of friendship with both Ginny and Jack; eating breakfast, visits in their home, praying together. Both were wonderful story tellers of life and their adventures walking through it. We rejoice Ginny has been met by Jesus who has prepared a place for her. We pray for comfort for her family.
