My deepest condolences for your great loss Dave (Kathryn), Todd and Victoria. Your mom will be very missed. She has such great talent. I remember going to her house to swim and she would always make sure we ate. I remember her beautiful house filled with all her beautiful paintings which I am honored to say, she painted one of my Siamese Cat. She knew too, I was an avid cat lover. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. She loved her children dearly and her cat Simon. Although we lost touch over the years I always kept in touch with Dave and always asked how she was. Ginny was a true lady. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. RIP Ginny. - Posted by: Maureen Smith (Family friend) on: Jul 25, 2026
