Know we are thinking of you and your family Jane. We had many great times and meals at Uncle Bob and Aunt Gins home. We enjoyed all the holidays spent together and the good times we had. Your mother was a very kind person and we have many wonderful memories. Her suffering is over and she is now home with Uncle Bob.

While saddened that Ginger has left us, it is comforting to know she is now free of pain and suffering. She is again with family that has gone before. Ginger, along with Bill and Jane, was welcomed as part of our family in 1947 when she and my brother, Bob, were married. There are precious memories of many happy family gatherings over the years. Everyone loved Ginger and that love was returned. She showed remarkable strength in continuing a meaningful life after Bob died 32 years ago. With love we say goodbye, grateful for her presence in our lives. Howard & Shelby Leinen

Ginger will always have a special place in my heart and I will always be grateful to her. Because of her, I got to know the father I missed in my life and my children got to know their grandfather and grandma Ginger. She always stayed in touch until she became ill. She and Dad came to visit no matter where I lived, and that was trips to Florida, Wyoming and Oregon, to visit her step-grandchildren. She was my step-mom and I always enjoyed having her and Dad visit. She was one to get me organized when we knew we were going to take some sightseeing trips and come home to fix a meal. I remember us peeling potatoes and putting them in a pan of water on the stove so all we had to do when we got back was turn on the burner. She sent cards to my children for their birthdays, Christmas, Easter. I loved your Mom and saw a very wonderful side of her. I know she is no longer in pain and she is better now and I am happy that she is with Dad again. My prayers are with them and with you. Thank you, Jane, for taking me to see her while living that short time in Cedar Rapids. It was hard to see her so ill but wonderful to have her remember me and Doug. Jane, you still have a sister here in Wyoming and I miss you. Please get in touch. Love you, Jeanette
