To All the family of Ginny Yansick:
You are all in my thoughts and prayers in this time of sorrow. Hopefully she is in a better place free from pain and suffering. She was always such a vibrant person and so full of energy. She always had a smile and a good word for everyone. She loved every minute she could spend with anyone and always made you feel special. I feel like I was the lucky one to of had her touch my life for so many years as well as all the ladies that came to aerobics class. How can I ever forget her smiling face as she followed along doing the exercises. She was so deicated and would feel bad to have to miss class. We shared many outings and special occasions together and she was always more and more excited at each special time. She was always ready to go and have fun times.
Ginny will truly be missed by all here on earth but heaven now has a very very special ANGEL. (just like the angels she always wore on her shoulder) She will now be looking down to help us all through the days and years ahead.I feel honored to of been a small part of her life but most of all to be a friend to her and all of her family. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers, All my love always Julie

Amy & Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember "Nana's" warm welcome and smiling face throughout the years of knowing your family. The fact that she always remembered me no matter how much time passed between us, made me feel special. I will miss that. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Beth (Hill) Anders

Rick and Kathy,

There are no friends like old friends. Marian Wecker Hughes Lammens, Gina's classmate from St. Matthias grammar school, has been keeping me informed. My mother, Dorothy Marx Krier Kulovitz, was their beloved friend and grammar school classmate as well. Marian and I were so pleased to be with all of you for her 90th birthday. We were just teasing about how the three friends each had two husbands.

Marian and I will be able to visit her grave easily, being North siders. Virginia and Marian would meet at Maryhill to visit their husband's graves and then have lunch. Marian and I will visit and have lunch too. Some traditions carry on. My step-father, Wally, was a south sider, so we have the opposite. My Mom is buried at St. Joseph's on the northside, and Wally is buried at St. Mary's on the south side.

I am so sorry to be unable to drive Marian to Ginny's wake and Mass. Marian will be meeting you at Maryhill. I have five days of meetings downtown and I am unable to break away on Thursday.

Virginia is now at peace in the arms of the Lord. I am having a Mass said for her the weekend of May 16-17 at our parish, St. Joan of Arc.
