It's amazing how far reaching kindness goes. For anyone that thinks they don't make a difference...think again.

I met Ginny a couple times, when I was new, and she was always friendly and eager to help, and she was genuine. There are not people like Ginny so much at the welcome area anymore. She was not haughty about what she knew, but always graciously shared whatever she had. I still have a folder of notecards she gave me and a ton of newbie clothing that I still put in my new resident welcome kits.

Ginny and other kind people like her were my inspiration to found my newbie network, because I wanted to continue the kindness that was showed to me when I was new.

I really regret not getting to know her better.

My heart goes out to all who did know her well, especially Rat. I understand losing someone close, and if you have never lost anyone close you cannot relate to those who have.

The saddest thing, as in RL, a tragic event like this will bring strangers together. Why do we wait until someone is gone to appreciate them?

I was another Ginnified-newbie. She was so kind and patient with me, made me feel welcome in a world which qute honestly terrified me at first.

I can't believe that if I go to the Welcome Area I will not see her, sitting there, being there for people.

I proud to have been friends with someone like her. She was so often busy, but always found time for a quick 'hi' and a 'how are you?'.

I wanted to say other things, I can't, too many tears.

Goodbye, Ginny. We will miss you so much

I can`t say enough about this woman.....she was always there for me.......

Would anyone know why she died?

It was her heart

I have known Ginny for almost a year. I've sat here reading this thread at least 3 times the 2 weeks. I wondered what happened to Ginny, why I haven't seen her. She gave me lots of great advice in the past. Now, death is something very unbearable for me. Just the topic of it. I must say that with Ginny gone, SL just isn't the same. I can't quite pin point what it is about SL that don't feel the same. If it's just cause Ginnys gone, or cause I associated it with such a cheerful person. This has affected me in ways I can not even describe...I have been too upset to post on this thread till now. I wasn't even as close to Ginny as you all were. Anyone who came in contact with this woman at one point or another was truely blessed. With all of this said, I can honestly say I've only logged in SL 2 times since finding out, and now have no desire to log in anymore. I always hung out in the welcome area and can't see myself being somewhere else, and not feeling Ginnys presence.

Ginny, family and friends, all of you have been in my prayers and I offer my deepest sympathy.
God Bless.

I met Ginny about a week after arriving in SL. By then, I was doing what I could to help the new citizens arriving at Waterhead. She encouraged me and gave me things to pass out to the nc's. Gosh, this was nearly a year ago now.... She told me to rename the folders, (Ginny's Newbie Help; Ginny's Help for Newbie Girls; Ginny's Guide, etc.) but I told I would never do that. I always gave credit where credit was due. And I haven't.
When Waterhead closed down and Ahern became the Welcome Area, I visited there, but rarely because of the HORRID Lag. Much of the time that I did, Ginny was there, battling the lag as well and perched on a planter, help nc's all the way. When I decided to apply for Mentor, she encouraged me.
I'll never forget Ginny saying to me, "At times I feel like I'm babysitting a bunch of kids." and knowing exactly what she meant. The griefers would target her often, because she was the voice of authority. They would never know just what a wonderful, kind and gentle person they disprupted. To them, I say, it's their loss.
I am honored to have known Ginny. I know that the cyber world of SL in nothing to the SL she is now living. There, everything IS possible. I just hope when it's my turn to transistion, that she is there to mentor me again, to encourage me, and to be my friend.

Though we may leave this dream of "reality", we continue on in those we've touched.
Our love is never far away, it cannot leave us.
When times are rough, your memory is there to comfort me and give me advice.
You are gone from here, but you shall always be a part of me and who I will become.

Thank you Ginny. You will not be forgotten.

I only found out last night and it came as a very sad shock.
(Having been away from SL myself for a bit)

Ginny nothing anyone can say here will thank you enough for all the support you gave to so many people, for the love and affection & care that was such a big part of who you were.

Thankyou for everything you did for the people at SFH for your support & friendship and purely for being you

Rest in peace sweetheart x
