    I will always deeply miss Ginger, with her bright smile and quick wit. After all these years she never ran me off. Always opened her home as if I were her own. I am lucky to be able to call her a friend.

    We will all miss you Ginger very much! You were the absolute best mother in law a girl could ask for. You were like a real mother to me. From day one we developed a bond and you accepted me like one of your own daughters. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your whole family at this time. We were all lucky to have known and loved you. You touched our lives so beautifuly in the most individual ways. We will be sure to share with Baby Bannon when he is born all the wonderful memories we have of his nanny. With all my love, Heather Dolph
