Jon,Tracie, and family, so sorry for your loss. Ginny was such a sweet lady. I am glad to have had the pleasure to have met her a couple of times. God Bless your family during this difficult time.
I knew Virginia several years ago when Bro. Morris Pipkins was paster in the Methodist Church in Wister. She was always kind and showed love for her family at all times.
I am so sorry Karen and the rest of the children and family to read this in the paper. She will be missed by her family, I know, but we know she is now in Heaven with Bro. Morris and I am sure he is singing and whistling as she enters the gates. May the Lord Bless each of you. A family I have always loved!
