  1. 1 Thessalonians 4:13. We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

    Love you all so much.

  2. I worked with Ginny in 1989 & 1990 at American Risk Managers! I was searching for her name to tell her I found the poem she wrote about my son when he was in Saudi Arabia/Desert Storm war! I did not know she had passed away! She was a sweet lady, and a hard worker!
