Happy Birthday to my sissy, I miss and love you so much.

Your baby sister

To Jay, Donna and family,

I was sorry to hear of Ginny's passing. My heartfelt condolences are with you. Ginny was always nice to me and my family and will be greatly missed. I think about Jeff often and miss our friendship as well. It is with some comfort that I know they are now reunited in heaven.

Andy Lease (Weedville, PA)

It feels like forever since I have heard Ginnys laugh yet it is still so clear in my ears. It feels like forever since I have heard Ginnys words of wisdom yet they are still so clear in my mind. It feels like forever since Ginny smiled at me yet I can still see it.  It seems like forever since I have seen my friend Ginny and yet it will be. It seems like forever since my soul has been refreshed but yet my heart holds tightly to my memories and this I can only wish will last forever.  
I miss my friend who I always looked forward to seeing. The love that is shared between Ginny and Jay is a love that is envied by all including me. Jay, You and Ginny have touched my life in a way that can not be expressed in words.  I am so sorry my friend. I love you, hugs

Miss you Burger....our family just won't be the same without you!

We are glad to have known her and shared her with her real family. Jay, Carol, her dau and grandchildren, niece, and extended famly: we grieve with you, we share your loss and wish you comfort from our sharing. Too soon, too sad. With much love, Joe and Francine

Jay, Donna, Carol & Lenora, 

I was very shocked and sadened to hear about Ginny passing away! I'll never forget all the great times we all had growing up, great memories! Ginny is at Peace For Eternity!!

I had the privilege of working for Ginny & Jay doing painting work. It was always a pleasure and Ginny and I so enjoyed indulging in each other's gift of gab.

In life, whether on a professional or personal level, the ideals of honesty, directness, respect and courtesy are traits that I find most valuable in people.  I strive to live my own life by those ideals and have the greatest respect for those who also live by that code.  Ginny is one of those people.  She was a generous and vibrant women who loved her family and beamed with pride at their accomplishments while instilling the values that she and Jay laid out on their own path in building their life together and raising their family.  After going through the difficult journey of her's son's illness and ultimate passing, she never seemed to miss a step in leading her family through those sad times with grace and love. She never failed to impress me with her kind and feisty, strong willed way, as well as her generous and fair manner which always left me looking forward to the next chance to work both with her and for her.  Her voice still rings in my ears and her spirit makes me smile, knowing that our respect and friendship were mutual.  I will miss her.

My heart is saddened with her loss and I offer my deepest condolences to Jay and her family.  I pray that her example of strength and love will provide the link to God's hand through this difficult time leading all of you to a new dawn.  May her spirit be with you and comfort you and keep her in your hearts always.

God Bless

Jay, Donna, and Family..

Just wanted to let you know our thoughts are with you.  You guys always treated me like one of your own.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Love and God Bless. Dan, Yvonne, Matthew, and Megan

I remember the first time I met Ginny.  It was the first annual Christmas party at our newly built clubhouse in Emerson Square.  In my mind's eye I see myself standing in the kitchen of the clubhouse talking to Trish and Fran, and in bounces this vivacious, energetic woman with a laugh to light up the room.  She had a way of making you feel as if you'd known her forever.  They say the eyes are the windows of the soul.....well, in those big bright brown eyes I saw kindness, generosity of spirit,  and a zest for life.  Ginny always exemplified loyalty and love for her family and friends.  You left us too soon Ginny, but we will continue to hear your inimitable laughter, and you will be in our hearts forever.

Dear Jay, Donna and family, so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We have so many memories of Ginny, all of which make us smile. May God give you strength in this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss.   You are all in our thoughts. Xoxo

I am in shock and so sorry for your loss! To everyone in the family, my deepest sympathy and heartfelt sadness.

Jay and family,

Know that there are many of us in your extended family of community and friends who send love and condolences and share your loss.  We feel very blessed and fortunate to have been touched by her loving ways and beautiful soul.

Jay,

I am so very sorry.  You and Ginny were always so kind to me when we met after grief group meetings.  I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

I don't even know where to begin.  I met Ginny and Jay in a bereavement group cause I too lost my son. They became instant friends to me and Jim and our friendship blossomed over the years. We had so many good times together. Whether it was a trip away for a few days, dinner, shopping at Coach or just talking on the phone we made a connection and she became my best friend. Our next adventure was a trip in July for 4 days. We both were so excited.  Ginny was always there for me when I was having a rough day. She knew the right things to say to help me through my heartache. She sometimes told me things I didn't want to hear but I knew the words came from her heart. The one thing I admired about her....She always said it like she felt it and never misled anyone. When I got the call on Weds I was in total shock. It wasn't fair that my friend was taken from me. We had 3 short/long years together and I needed more. She understood me. As the clock is ticking I know it won't be long till I go and see my friend for the last time. I will never say good bye to you because I know you will be with me. I know you will walk along side of me and continue to guide me. Ginny, Thank you for being such a good friend. Thank you for blessing me with special memories of our time together. And Thank you for being you. I will always love you and feel blessed to have you in my life. My friend we will see each other again and I know that Jeff and Danny are entertaining you.  Good night my sweet friend. Love you to the moon and back.

Dear Jay Donna Carol and Lenore:

We are so sorry to hear of Ginny's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. She is in God's hands now.

 I was shocked to hear of the sad news. Ginny was a loving and sweet person.
 She always made me laugh. She adored her children and grandsons. Ginny always talked about them. They would bring a smile to her face.
We had many laughs and tears together. I will miss her.

Dear Jay, Carol and families,

You are all in our prayers during this time of great sadness. We know that only time will ease the pain of your loss.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel on the sudden death of Ginny.  We all know that God has a plan for her no matter how hard it is for us to see.  Tom and I are very grateful to have known Ginny, and she will always be remembered as fun, one to speak her mind, and most importantly as a very caring friend and family member.  Carol and Jay – our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss.
It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.
My thoughts are with you all.

Tom Cavanaugh (Hainesport, NJ)

Ginny Draper...how will I remember you? Well you were one of the kindest women I know...a wonderful mother, sister, aunt...a loyal friend...and a proud grandmother.  You were always willing to lend a hand, answer a question, or listen to a rant.  You had the best sense of humor...and that laugh...does anyone else have a laugh like yours?  

For your family, we are so very sorry...and we grieve with them. In the next few days, we'll all be sharing stories of you...some will bring tears...but many will make us do what you did best...laugh...not that signature laugh...but a laugh just the same.

Dear Jay, Donna and Family,
So sorry for your loss.
She is with her father and mother now!

I'm so saddened to learn of Ginny's death.  She had been on my mind these past couple of weeks because she and my mom had recently spoken and it meant the world to my mother.
