Lenore Mcginnis was a vivacious, dramatic, well educated, fun loving lady whose presence added to any social gathering. She always arrived dressed to the nines, carrying her latest camera to photograph not only the guests but also the food. My family always asked "Are the McGinnis's coming?" Lenore was loved and respected by all who knew her. Heaven will be so much more interesting with her around! - Posted by: Kathy Fecio (Friend) on: Apr 28, 2006
