Scott and Michael, my thoughts, prayers, and hugs are with you. The cousins here will attend your mom's funeral via the livestream.
Wonderful memories of my loving sister-in-law! Rosemary Downie Noel
I met Ginger as a neighbor in Tall Timbers. We were both mothers raising sons and had a lot in common. We frequently walked the neighbor together for exercise and used that time to share our lives. Ginger was always helpful to me and I loved discussing what it meant to be a Christian, a mother, and a good friend. I regret not keeping in touch more than we did after her move to the Northshore.
“Ginger” was a dear friend/neighbor. I will miss our chats across the fence! She was always quick with a hug and I so appreciated her knowledge of plants! It will be hard to look the way of her house and not have her wave and say “Hi neighbor” May she rest eternal with our Lord! Prayers for the family as they navigate their grief.
Ginger has been my beloved friend for many years including a long stint both teaching mathematics at Northlake Christian. People often asked if we were sisters. My life will require some adjustment without her. I take peace in knowing she is with our beloved Lord Jesus. Liz Haindel
