What My Aunt Meant To Me.
Aunts have no wands or wings,
So they work with wisdom, love, and things.
Having taken on this role,
You loved me right down to my soul.
You offered kindness
And greetings with a hug and kiss,
Each freely out of love which I will miss.
I chose a twinkling star in the sky at night ,
To say a prayer for you to it’s bright light.
You’re in God’s Heavens now and no longer in pain,
In my thoughts, you’ll always remain
How lucky I was,
How blessed I’ve been,
You were more than my Aunt,
You were also my friend
Love you forever and ever! Xoxo. Love, Susie

Dear God... I understand why you took Ginny home, I believe she's at peace with YOU and Wendy, Mom& Pop and family. And she's free, free from all the pain and suffering she's been through for the past several years, with her failing health.
And now my feelings are filled with an emptiness and tears, and at times so overwhelming. I wanted to write about all the funny, hilarious, and scary time times Ginny and I had together. But it would turn into a very large size book. Where does one begin to write about all the great memories that happened over 70 some years in the lives of these three sister's. Joan, Myrt & Ginny who took an oath early on in life, to never argue with one another that would cause us not to talk for any length of time. We agreed to disagree on occasion. But we never hung up the phone are left and went home, without asking did you get that? Did I hurt your feelings? I didn't mean to I apologize, I love you, I love you very much.
And I gotta say, as I feel like busting at the seams, I am so impressed because we conquered and succeeded in doing just that.... We never stopped talking to one another!!! We always had each other's back, and we're always there for each other when in need. Ginny right now my memories are bouncing off the wall. Like when teaching you how to drive, and I had only taking you out for three days, 3 days and I decided to take you for the test. Knowing you would not pass, but wanting you to know how it's done. To say you are Nervous would be an under understatement. You giggled and giggled and giggled that made me believe we could be thrown off the premises. Then to add to all the frustration of the day
YOU PASTED!!! YOU PAST THE DRIVER'S TEST!!! In and total SHOCK WE LAUGHED HYSTERICALLY ALL THE WAY HOME!!!!!!! And and that's just one little stitch in our sister quilt of life together. Then there was the vacation I took Mom and you on after Pop passed away for a week, in Stone Harbor N.J. And that forever hilarious boat ride I took you out on. Here's the reader digest version. You didn't want to go, an I explained that I rented the boat for a week and it convinced you. After a while you got hot and wanted to jump in the water, but was afraid of crabs biting you, and I convinced you, and then you wanted to get back in the boat, and when I reached over the side to pull you in the boat tilted, I YELLED! OH NO! NO! I CAN'T SWIM!!!! And I convinced you this time, to hang on to the side of the boat while I towed you all the way back to the dock at the place we were staying, and it goes without saying the indentation of the edge of the boat in your arm made it very clear, it was very sore!!! And you YELLED... I'LL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU AGAIN AND THAT BOAT!!! And as bad as this makes me feel I convinced you once again to take another boat ride with me, that today I wish you didn't. They were enjoying the ride and after a few hours I took notice the tide was getting lower and lower, and I started to head back and when entering I can now where our place was I suddenly felt something offer in the pit of my stomach, when I seen and thought OH NOOOoooo!!! There was barely enough water to get down the middle of the canal to our rental, and NO water at all around our dock. Then stupid popped up again inside me, and I dangerously convinced Ginny to get out of the boat and walk to the dock in that black sinking mud, (that's like quicksand) with a rope pulling me and this old wooden boat and motor to the dock, AND YOU DID, OR YOU TRIED!
I'm crying sad tears as I retell this story because of how I manipulated you to do some dumb risky stunts. I can remember seeing the owner and his son running down our pier each having two life preservers tied to ropes, and the owner YELLING VERY LOUDLY ARE USE CRAZY!!! AND AS THEY STRUGGLE TO PULL YOU OUT!!!! THE YOUNG STUPID AND ME LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY....And Then I Seen That FEAR On YOUR FACE And my feelings sank like the weight of the world Terrified and Ashamed and I cried, even your legs were stained a gray color for a couple days. As I cry writing this remembering the many flashbacks a foolish stupid stunts stitched into that quilt of our life. I am so, so, so Grateful and Thankful to GOD but nothing seriously ever happened to You. Well sis these tears are now clouding my site.
I Apologize if I hurt you, I never meant to, I Love You, I Love You very much.
Hugs & Kisses
PS... Myrt whom I never done those stupid stunts with, and I guess because she wasn't as easy to manipulate as you, plus I think you thought of me as a parent or an adult, remember you asked me to beat up Pop because he told you to go to bed. Anyway Myrt told me to say, if you decide to get even with me for what I did to you and Myrt at night with the TV's National Anthem closing ceremony, she said do it Ginny when her Eagles game is on!!! Now Ginny, that's just not right!!!! OOOhhhhhh Go Ahead......
YOU GO GIRL!!! XOXO

Aunt Ginny, I'm going to miss you so very much! You have always been very special to me. We weren't only Aunt and a niece...we were friends and close ones at that. We had many phone call conversations that I will cherish. I'm so glad you came to the mountains all those times ...I will never forget the first time when you came there.. you hugged me and said this is Gods Country and that Birk and I did a beautiful job up there. So now when I'm up there sitting on the gazebo where you liked to sit. I can talk to you when I'm looking up at the stars. I. Going to miss you so very much and I'm greatful for all the times we shared.I will love you forever and always! Your in my heart and memories . I'm so lucky to have had you in my life.

I'm sad you are gone, but extremely happy you are finally over all the pain and suffering you have had over the last several years. I will miss that laugh of yours!
I have had several memories popping into my head lately but one that sticks into my brain is when we were kids you were babysitting us at your house overnight and in the morning you made us scrambled eggs. When I went home I told my mom that you made us the best eggs ever and asked her to make them "Like Aunt Gin" makes. My mom had to call you and ask what you did that was so great in my eyes and all you did was add milk to them. I loved them! Please give my Mama and Aunt Joanne a huge hug from me...I miss them tremendously.
Always,
Your Quiet One

Mom-mom,
Did I tell you today that I love you? Well I do. There are countless memories but among my favorites are playing monopoly with our own rules, selling sour warheads on your porch, visiting you and screaming all night long, and watching hours of touched by an angel. “Testify to love” will always be our song.
This is a excerpt from a blog post I wrote about you and I regret never sharing with you.
My favorite thing about her though? Her prayer life...whenever I need prayer she is one of the first people I go to. She has told me that whenever she is really worried about me she will get on her knees. Now, this may not seem like a big deal to you but when she gets down its usually impossible for her to get back up. Shes had to have my pa-pa come help her up on numerous occasions. He's told me that he's yelled at her before because its dangerous with her health, yet she still continues to do it. Usually when I am going to take a test I will feel anxiety and then I call her and feel completely at ease when taking my test. Its like she has a special connection. I know one reason why shes still alive...the Lord knew that my prayer life fails so often that I would need someone like her continually praying to get me through school. My mom-mom is one of my best friends, I love calling her and just telling her whats on my mind, knowing that it wont be gossiped about later, I wont be judged and that she will pray for me about it all.
My Mom-mom isnt perfect, and she'll be the first to admit that, but I have learned so much from her. I cry every time I think about losing her and what it will be like to not have her to call and pray for me. I know my time is limited and I need to take advantage of every moment I can with her. I could lose anyone in my life in the snap of my finger and just thinking about this made me realize how much my time with the ones I love is so limited and I need to make more time for them, and remember to show them how much I love them.
Thanks for being there for me. I love you and am so glad you are resting in Jesus’ arms.
-Your ‘Precious’ xo

To My BEST FRIEND, MY SISTER Gin
Hon there aren't enough words in the dictionary to explain the pain and loss I am feeling right now. Sis, I have so so many GREAT Memories of you and me throughout our life LAUGHING and CARRYING ON. As I think of them I laugh and cry at the same time. This is so hard for me to write you right now because my pal is gone and it hurts so bad. I know you are here with me in spirit and hear me, but I want to see you and talk and laugh with you. I know you heard me til the very end telling you everyday when I called: I LOVE YOU GIN as Ronnie held the phone to your ear and I heard you respond each time back to me. SO AGAIN HON I want to tell you out LOUD "I LOVE YOU GIN, I LOVE YOU" ! Always and Forever and Ever Hon !!
Also I admire your Ron for staying with you 24/7 in hospitals and nursing homes. I thank him because it gave me such peace knowing someone was there with you and that I didn't have to worry if you were being mistreated. I know you LOVE HIM Hon and he LOVES YOU. ALSO > Don't forget, you told me that one day when I'm vacuuming you are suppose to come and shut my vacuum cleaner off and then I'll know you are here with me and everything is O.K. I am glad you are home with the LORD because it gives me peace and comfort that you are out of pain and suffering and that you are with Wendy, Mom, Dad, Charlie, Eugene, Pat, and Jeff.
One day we will see each other again Hon, and we'll probably be laughing and giggling as always. YOU ARE THE BEST !!!! Give my Son a BIG HUG & KISS for me and his Dad.
As Ron would always would say when I called, its
Your Middle Big Sister
MYRT xoxo and AGAIN ..... I LOVE YOU HON !!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
P.S. Your Brother Charlie (who always burned candles for you and had the people at Church all praying for you) said to tell you He MISSES YOU and LOVES YOU !
P.S.S. One other thing Hon, Wake Joan up in the middle of the night when the national anthem comes on T.V. to let her know you're there. She's usually up late. LOL Or do it in the daytime, just make sure you do it ! LOL

Dear Mom!
I love you so much! Thank you for doing your best with what you had to raise me and love me! I know you loved me because you often told me "I love you with all my heart!" We didn't always see eye to eye but I did know you loved me! I'm grateful for the sweet time I had with you last Saturday, listening to those two songs together made my heart sing. All Hail King Jesus and It Is Well, perfect songs for you and I! It is well...with my soul, Mom. I believe you are in the presence of our Lord and there is no more pain! I will always love you and remember fun times in my life like driving over to Aunt Myrts to hang out, and driving to the deli for Italian hoagies and a coca cola and of course topping it off with a 3 pack of chocolate tasty cakes, letting me drive in parking lots before I was of driving age, dancing our hearts out at weddings, listening to stories from when you were a child, and most of all standing by your man, till the very end...I will chose to remember the good things always, mom! Love you!
Your little right hand,
Ginny (daughter)
