I have many fond memories of my Aunt Ginger from my childhood. It was always exciting to see her and my Uncle Herb, the memories I have of them are special to me and are something I will always remember. Though distance made our visits less frequent as I grew up it didn't change my feelings to a person who was an important part of my childhood. She missed Herb so much and I am so happy that she can be with him again.

Ginger Witt was a "forever" family friend of the Rysz family, even after she and Uncle Herb married, and the Rysz's married. She and Uncle Herb were just like an aunt and uncle to us and remained so through all these years. Like her, I am a Virginia as well; perhaps my parents liked her name so much they chose it for me. Aunt Ginger was a vibrant, active woman; she was lots of fun to be around and she had a great sense of humor. Her nickname suited her well! And she was filled with kindness. We're so glad we got to see her a few years ago on our Florida trip. It was such a nice visit. We know she missed Uncle Herb terribly. She spoke of him often, and it is great comfort to us that they are together once again. Condolences and prayers to all.
