Sorry i wasn't there for you I knew you were in trouble. So sorry that you had to feel that your "own mom didn't want you around any more". Mason couldn't get there in time. Sorry that I didn't make you feel that our family was enough for you. Love you always.

Ginny, I was sad to read about your young niece's passing. Please pass on my condolences to the rest of your family. Her photo reminds me so much of you when we were in high school! I'm sure she was a lovely person.
