My Aunt Ginger was so much more than an aunt. She was my confidant and a very best friend. Her loyalty was with me from the beginning to the end. She was a Great Aunt, and she took that title, and she ran with it.
She loved me enough to tell me when I was in the wrong. She loved me even more with her understanding heart, her gentle words of encouragement and her shoulder to cry on, while I was on a quest to make things right. Often providing relief with her smile, laughter, and fun. Celebrating with me when I had won.
My Aunt Ginger stood by my side when others dismissed me as a lost or worthless cause, she advocated on my behalf, because she felt that I was not. She spoke up not just for me, but to me. Instilling the idea that perhaps I wasn’t as unworthy as even I had thought.
Her faith in me has meant so very much. I don’t know if I would have survived my turbulent years without someone that believed in me.
That someone was My Aunt Ginger.
Even through her own pains she went above and beyond to assist me and mine with so many things. She was part of a dynamic duo and to My Great Uncle John my gratitude does also go.
To all my cousins, my sympathy is with you as we share her loss. We will forever treasure her love for each of us. We will remember all the fun we had. Her caring and selflessness will sustain us for this long while till the day we once again see her smile.
Yes, a truly blessed niece I have been to have had such a “Great” great Aunt Ginger that I will someday see again.
My condolences and love to you all

My condolences to Mrs. Swift's family. When I was in High School, I worked at their business during the summer! Mr. and Mrs. Swift were always so kind and taught me so much about running a business. I remember her always being so kind and sweet. Rest in peace.
