    To George, Vicki and Andrew, I have known Ginny since 1976, when we first started working together at Del Manor. She has always been such a loving, funny and kind friend. May all the laughs you've shared and love carry you through as you face the future without her. I know she's watching over you all. Thank you for sharing her all these years. God bless.
