To Ginny's kids and husband, I am so sorry for your loss. Ginny was very kind to my children when they were in her daycare. I haven't seen her for quite a few years, but I will never forget her.

Ginny cared for my son Jonah for two years and gave him a fun and safe place to be. She also graciously opened her home to my teen daughter Shawna and allowed her to volunteer at the day care. She was a warm and caring woman who always had a smile on her face. My heart goes out to you Lee, I am so sorry for your loss. Know that Ginny was loved by many and will never be forgotten. All our love - The Donovan Family

Dear Lee and family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I love all my cousins and Ginny was one of the best. I always liked to visit her when I was down that way. She was always happy to see me and fill me in on what everybody was doing. Ginny will be missed but, never forgotten and always loved.

Ginny was an integral part of our family for so many years. She was like a second Mom to our children and a dear friend to us. She cared for our son for ten years and our daughter for four years. . Ginny could be counted on to have a smiling face every morning to greet us. She was always providing something special for her day care kids from hiring a Santa Claus for the Christmas party, for having kids do crafts for the holidays, for baking chocolate chip cookies for treats after school, and for sending home a a freshly baked bag of rolls. No one could bake like Ginny! She was always on the go...we hardly ever remember her sitting down. She loved children as evidenced that when she stopped day care, she went to driving a school bus to stay close to children. Words cannot express the loss that so many of us feel at the thought of not seeing Ginny. May the memories of Ginny be of solace to her family and to all of us during this time of sorrow.
