Ginny and Tom have been our next-door neighbors since 1990. We could not have asked for better neighbors and friends. We have shared many joys and heartbreaks over the years. Ginny watched us raise our 2 sons and often told stories of raising her 4 boys. She cherished Tom and her family.
Ginny was always strong... her opinions, her attitude towards life, and facing her illnesses. We watched her get well after beating the odds three other times. She lived strong until the end this week.
Just 6 days ago she was sitting in the hospital bed fussing that the remote control would not show her the Game Channel. She fully expected to come home, get well, and be playing golf by Christmas, and I believed her. Ginny wanted to be treated as a woman “living with cancer”, not “dying of cancer”, and she taught us all so much about living.
She changed our lives and will live forever in our hearts and memories.
