My heart goes out to the Mather family today. I am reflecting on Ginnie and all the delightful memories. She lived next door to my family for many years. What I loved most was her ability to listen and make you feel like the most important person in the world. She made even a young teenager feel important. She was there for my family as a friend and supporter. I will always love her for that.
