    I’m so sorry to hear about Ginger. I didn’t even know she was sick. I wish I’d known. Maybe I could have visited her. No matter how long she and I went without seeing each other it seemed that when we saw each other we could pick up right where we left off. She was a great friend. I think I introduced her to Bobby. Seems they hit it off right away. If you guys need anything just call. 501-658-5644.

    I know there are no words that will help your pain. Ginger was there for me as a long distance cousin when my mother passed in 2020. I sent her tons of old family photos when my mother passed in 2020. I sent her a ton of old family photos when my mother passed and she found their homes. This is a great picture of her, she still has that same smile as the one of her as a child on the couch in the yellow dress and pretty bonnet. I didn’t get to visit a lot as we live in different states but she was such a kind soul and reached out to me with nothing but love and kindness when it was very much needed. Thank you Ginger! I will miss you very much and you will not be forgotten. I shall see you again one day.
