I´m so sorry for your loss. I grew up just down the block on South Second Street and have such fond memories of riding my bike to visit Dawn. Ginny was always so sweet, kind, and welcoming whenever I stopped by. She made me feel like part of the family, and I will always remember her warmth and gentle spirit. Her kindness will never be forgotten.

I knew her and her family, watching her kids grow up in Church. She was a very pleasant gal.
I send my deepest sympathy to her family and loved ones!
