My dear Aunt Ginny:
You were our memory box, able to recount family stories from all the ages and stages, keeping memories alive by telling and retelling stories to iron them into our minds for us to keep and retell.. You made sure to spend time with each of us, individually, which always made me feel so special. You were so accepting, able to entertain and consider any viewpoint. You loved to have deep talks. You always took time to find common ground with us, and with you and I it was a shared love of books, cooking and being in nature. I think about you every time I measure a teaspoon of salt in the palm of my hand, you were such a fantastic cook. I have so many great memories with you, but some of the best are when we were doing nothing at all, just being together talking and laughing. You were a passionately caring person whose first priority was always spending time with family. You raised two of the most interesting and genuine people I know, and that carried on to each of your grandchildren. The last time I saw you, I was just trying to memorize your beautiful face for what I knew might be the last time. I’m so glad I got to tell you how much I love you again and again. I want you to know that I am taking you with me everywhere I go, you will always be alive in my mind. I am so lucky to have been your niece - you are such a big part of the woman I am today. I’m glad you are at peace with Grandma and Grandpa and I can’t wait to see you all again one day. I love you I love you I love you.
Your niece Nicole
Ginny,
Thank you for all the memories and aunt – niece time we had from coming to your house all the time as a kid for sleep overs, to you moving away but always making sure we had time together, to you moving back and spending almost every weekend together. How I cherish our long talks and laughing so hard until our sides hurt. You were always up for an adventure no matter how silly or crazy they were. You showed me unconditional love, compassion, and understanding. You helped make me the woman I am today. Until we see each other again, you will be in my heart, the voice of reason in my head, and my protector from above.
Love and miss you.
Michelle
Grandma,
Though small in stature, you had a fiery spirit like no other. You loved nothing more than your family, and that love radiated through everything you did. I will deeply miss all the fun we had and the laughter we shared.
Even as that horrendous disease tried to take over your mind, you never forgot the time we spent together. I’ll always cherish our trips to see the covered bridges in Georgia with you and my sister, and the memories at the Douglasville house, where I can still hear you and Grandpa laughing together.
You will forever be in my heart, and I find peace in knowing you’re now resting easy in a better place.
Forever your grandson,
Lleyton Michael Ray
So long my sister, my friend. We've had a whole lifetime of being together and being there for each other. Our family has been blessed with an unusual closeness that's been nurtured by shared vacations, interchangeable kids, non judgement, shopping trips and lots of love for each other. You have never failed me any of the times I've needed you. I will think of you and miss you every day.
Love you,
Sissy - your sister and partner in crime
