My prayers are for you of you and your brothers and sisters, as your mother will certainly be missed.
To our dearest Ashcraft family, Rob and I are thinking of you during this difficult time. We loved Ginny so much. There are so many memories we have of weddings, reunions, birthday parties, picnics, showers, and other get-togethers. On August 10, we had our ASHCRAFT/NORSTROM FAMILY REUNION. Ginny, of course, was there. Little did we all know, it would be her last. What a grand loving, sendoff for her. I sat along side her, as we watched her daughters take part in the races. She was so proud of all her children as they lived their lives in fun and togetherness. We will miss our dearest Ginny. I will wear the red scarf, she knitted, proudly. In fact, right now it is on my red mobility scooter. It will go with me everywhere I go. You are loved and remembered always. Jackie and Rob Aikman
Dear Brian and Family~
Thinking of you at this time, hoping your great memories with your mother will help you thru this time. You now have a new guardian angel to watch over you.
Your St Jeans' friends,

Dear Marsha and Family,
I just learned of Ginny's passing today and am so sorry I missed the funeral. I got to know Ginny through Cursillo and she was one of my favorite people; just thinking of her could make me smile. She was one of the most caring and accepting persons that I have known and she could have a wicked sense of humor. I'll never forget being at the Ladd's anniversary party quite a few years ago and I happened to use the phrase "foo-foo" in whatever I was talking about. Ginny's eyes got big and she came over to me and whispered what the meaning of "foo-foo" was to her and the family and we got the biggest laugh over that. And, it always came up whenever we saw each other afterward, making us both hoot about it all over again!
I hadn't seen Ginny in quite awhile, so imagine my surprise when I saw her at mass at St. Pat's a month or so ago. I feel so blessed that God gave us one more opportunity to see and talk to each other and share a hug. I wish you all peace of heart and happy memories to help heal the sting of her passing. We will see her again. God Bless you Ginny, and thank you for the love you shared with so many people throughout your life. In love and friendship, Robin Brand
Ginny was one of the first persons I came to associate with DeColores en Cristo as an ecumenical renewal experience. Ginny "converted" me and invited me into the love and grace of all our "catholic" unity of grace found in God. I'm so glad holy grace will continue to guard and keep her in love's embrace. Mimi Bush
My Aunt Ginny was a sweet woman! She was my Godmother and I loved her very much! I know her family will miss her!
My sympathy goes out to all of Ginnys family. What a great lady! I will always remember her sense of humor and her kindness. Rest in peace Gin.

My thoughts and prayers are with her and all of you, Ginny's family, who she loved so much. She was one of the kindest, most loving, warm hearted, ladies I've ever known and I'm so thankful that I knew her. Although she lived a long and happy life I know she will still be missed by you as well as by friends. Love you all. Nancy Ashcraft
Ginny's family,
I just learned of Ginny's passing and I will not be able to attend the service. Please know that you are all in my prayers. Ginny has impacted many people in her life on this earth and will go to a far better place with many friends and loved ones waiting for her. She shall be greatly missed! I have such wonderful memories of great times spent with her and will treasure each one. She made the best apple pie in the world! We will all be together on the other side. Love to you all............Barb Lambrix Hermanson
