"I know this is hard, but I (like we all are) was given this life to share and now I must give it back. I am very lucky to have been a part of so many lives. I thank you all for your friendship, love, laughter, and prayers. We will meet again. Be thankful for what you have, say I love you often, laugh hard and long, cherish every day you have. Celebrate my life and remember me." - Ginger
