Condolence:
I share my condolences with “Ginny’s”family” as she told me over 5 yrs ago is how she was known, when we rode together for services at the First Lutheran Church of Shelby, Ohio after she had started to live with her daughter and husband on the same street as I lived on, and she before we both had to end going to the same servoces. However every trusting in God she was very hopeful and trusting in God. Now I, too, will miss mailing her cards, especially on ocassions she told me only 1 or a family member might.
