Mary Becker wrote a sympathy message

“Our aunt Ginny was a woman who lived her faith everyday. Her accomplishments would be hard to emulate. To my Godfather uncle Steve you showed us everyday what true love is, may God bless you in this time of sorrow. To our only 4 first cousins, may your mother be your example to give love and kindness to all. My mother used to say they were so poor that to they did not have any cousins. Know that you have the love and support of all 8 of us Naumnns and the other 36 cousins that come with us.”
