Welcome Family and Friends to our Tribute to this wonderful woman.

Thank you all for the love and attention you gave Mother during her life and in the last few months. Your care, your visits, your cards, your calls and your love meant the world to her and gave us, her children, great comfort. She was truly a remarkable woman, the last of her generation in this family and we believe she represented that family—her husband, her brothers, her sisters—honorably and to the best of her ability until she left us quietly and peacefully in the loving care of our dear Debby.

We thank you for all you have done to recognize and appreciate her extraordinary life. She cherished (and remembered!!!) every moment you shared with her and loved your thoughtfulness for including her in your lives. She never forgot she was representing not just herself but also her husband, son, brothers, sisters and good friends that left her and all of us too soon. She, like we, loved them very much.

We wish we could be with you all to celebrate the life of this amazing woman. As that is not possible in today’s environment, we invite you to join us in remembering Mother/Granny/Granny G/ Ginger.
