To the Family,
Gin was like a sister to us.We've been knitted together since the 1960's if not earlier. Gin was truly apart of our family, and will always be. We love her very much and will truly miss her. But thank God for the good times we've spent together as a family -Gin we love you still.

A child of the King has returned to her Father because her room was ready.
