    Virginia worked with my mom Monica at Woolworths. She was very good to my mom and such a nice woman. May she RIP

    I only met Ginny six weeks before her death, when I became her roommate in hospital while I was recovering from a broken leg. I loved her feistiness and her care for people. Her laugh was infectious. She would nearly run out of the room when a family member would come to take her for the day and would return, tired, but with a huge smile on her face. When I was struggling with getting up or moving in my wheelchair, she would call out “Are you okay, dear?’. As I passed her on the way to my bed, she would often reach her hand out and grip mine for a moment to encourage me. It was obvious, even in her last days, how important her family was to her. I mentioned to her several times how great a family she had. She would always reply “I know. I don’t know what I’d do without them”. It was a blessing to know her. Thank you, Ginny.

    Sorry to hear of Aunt Ginnie’s passing. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

    We did not see each other often but she always had a warm smile and a hug for me.
