Dearest Ginnie:
Our lives crossed paths with you and Larry in the late sixties as colleagues which lead us to sharing treasured, unforgettable times together skiing, motorcycling, auto racing, baseball, skating, and traveling from the Rockies to Alaska. We were certainly blessed with the finest friends for which one could wish. For this we thank you and will miss you more than you’ll ever know.
Our deepest love and condolences to Jeff and his family.

My condolences to the Family. Ginny will be missed. She was a wonderful person. And when it came to skiing, she was the fastest. I would never dare to race against her. She was just too fast and smooth around the gates. Ginny was one of a few members that kept the Duneland Ski Club going. Now her and Larry can Ski the double diamonds of Heaven.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Moffitt. I was recently thinking of her and reminiscing about her on the Bailly Jr. High webpage with fellow alumni. She was my Spanish teacher for 7th and 8th grade. She was a wonderful, kind, supportive and loving teacher. She genuinely cared about her students and shared stories about her life growing up and her family. I have wonderful memories that I will always cherish and at one point until I stopped practicing was almost bilingual because of her. My sincerest condolences to her family. She was a “gem”. Rest In Eternal Peace Senora Moffitt
Hasta Luego

Jeff, Jim and I send our condolences. We skied with your mother and father for many years, and I always had to push to even come close to being the skier your mom was. She will be missed. We are out of town, or would certainly be at the service to honor her. Our sympathies.
