Our sincere condolences to the entire Greving family on the passing of our dear friend Ginny.
I (Doris) went to school with Ginny at Notre Dame and after our graduation, we both took jobs are Irwin Paper in Quincy. I worked with Ginny at Irwin for five years.
I would see her at St. Peter’s Adoration Chapel. She was a very special lady.
You will be missed, Aunt Ginny!
Such a special lady! You will be missed. Let us all celebrate a long life well lived!
My heart is saddened with the loss of Aunt Ginny. She was, and will remain in my heart, a part of my family. She will be sorely missed. I only regret that I am in the Baltic and unable to pay my respects personally on Tuesday. May she rest in peace with The Lord.
