Condolence & Memory Journal

Craig & Family;

We are so sorry to hear of Ginger's passing and we wish to extend our sincere sympathies.
Some years ago Ginger came to visit my Mother, Elizabeth Merrill, at Belair Nursing Home and they discussed our two families related members. Such a small world. We are so thankful that Ginger came and spent some time with her.
We will miss Ginger greatly.

Blessings
Bob & Sarah Merrill

Craig, Heather and Penny,
I am so sorry for your loss. However, Ginger is gone but not forgotten. She will forever have a place in my heart. All the trips we took together with you Craig. What fun we had. Those are my thoughts and forever will be. I love you Ginger.

This is such sad news. We lived across the street from their family on Alexander Dr. many years ago. She was a kind and beautiful woman.

My deepest sympathies to Ginger's family. I lived next door to her at Granite Hill. She was just the sweetest and always would stop to talk and ask how we were doing.

Dearest Ginger,

Your beautiful heart, your fantastic sense of humor, and the joy that you have brought to so many lives are the legacy you leave for us! Your love and friendship are the purest treasure that I will forever hold in my heart. I will miss our lunch dates, the time we sat at your house, chatted and drank tea, and our phone conversations where you couldn't wait to share a joke you had recently heard. I love you, Ginger, and I will miss you terribly, but the joy of our friendship will forever impact me.
