Lynette says
To the Family of Ginger, Wow! What an incredible woman. I never had the privledge of knowing her but was so touch by her life story. My heart goes out to all who knew and loved her . Death of a loved one is so painful. Jesus talked about death . John 11:11-14. Jesus told us about the hope for all those who die! John 5:28,29. The Resurrection! Ginger will live again! Just like Jesus resurrected Lazuras, he will resurrect all who die on a Grand scale. I hope this Hope for the future brings you comfort.
