In loving memories of our friend.
We were so surprised to hear that Ginny passed away. She had such a zest for life, and when we were told she wasn't doing good, when we saw her, she was Ginny. You couldn't tell. She was an awesome person with an infectious laugh and personallity. Mitch and Brian, there are no words that can express how sad, and sorry we are about losing her, but we know she is in a better place with our Lord God. WE are praying for her, and her whole family during this difficult time.

The first time I met Ginny and Mitch was that the Reading Motorcycle Club, They made such an impression on me as a couple. They not only loved each other but enjoyed each other. The humor that they had in their relationship is something that is very rare. I feel blessed that God gave me the opportunity to call them both my friends. My heart bleeds for you Mitch. But know that Ginny was loved as much as she loved everyone she met. She is at peace. Fly high my friend. You are deeply missed by all
