Roger, I am so sorry to hear of Ginnie's passing. She and mother were great golf buddies. Please express my condolences to your family. I really liked Ginnie and the last time I saw her we talked a great deal about my mother. She told me how mother showed her a lump which turned out to be cancer. It killed her in less than four months. They were golfing at Pinehurst with some other ladies. I never knew until then Ginnie was the one who insisted on Mother getting that dang thing checked. Hope you are well am glad all the prayers healed you. Pidge

My sympathy goes out to the family of Ginny. She and Huck were good friends of my parents, Woodie and Marjorie Mays. She was a lady in every sense of the word and I know she will be missed.
