Thank you for sharing Ginga and Gramma with us. I just discovered them yesterday (had seen the Steve Harvey clip, but didn't know who they were) and thanks for sharing their hysterical banter with us. My favorite is when Ginga gets going dancing or telling a story and you see Gramma laughing at her (like when Ginga claimed she was dropped on her head when she was born.) What fun they had especially in their last years to share with us. Thank you for sharing your eulogy. I look foward to watching more videos and may the family be blessed and laugh remembering those days. Now she shakes her bells in heaven and everyone loves to laugh and dance with her.

Ginga reminded me so much of my Grandma. Her dancing and making us laugh. Thank you so much for sharing Gramma and Ginga with us. The wonderful videos we will always be able to go back and remember.

It's nice that she's now reunited with her sister and all her family. I know she must have missed them something awful and was the last to pass of all the elders in her family that were born during the decade she was born. She really did love Gramma, when you watch them on the Steve Harvey Show she talked about how even though Gramma didn't like her doing it, she called her every morning to make sure she was doing okay. Both Gramma and Ginga come from the time when my grandparents on my mothers side of the family were born, in the early 1900s to 1910s, they were also Italian and fought constantly!

Arlette “Ginga” Family & Friends I’ve watched your journeys via internet. The laughter you and Gamma have brought many will always be cherished for generations to come. May you be dancing in heaven amongst those near and dear to you. To your families thank you for sharing her with all of us. For many of us this was an exciting adventure full of laughter and not only was their bonds with everyone heartfelt and meaningful but also very adventurous.

I’ll always remember the times that she made me laugh through her bickering with her sister. They were truly lovely ladies. Lots of prayers go out to the family and the friends they left behind.

I never had a grandmother. One died before I was born and the other died when I was an infant. They both would have been grandma and Ginga's ages. These two wonderful ladies somehow filled the imaginary void of not ever having a grandmother. I truly pray that they are resting in peace with our Lord. I'm sure my biological grandmother's are with them in the promised land, thanking them for stepping up and giving myself and everyone who watched their videos entertainment. God please welcome Ginga into your kingdom. She brought so much good to this world and we so desperately need it.

You know that sometimes there are those people that you think will live forever, and Ginga was one of them... Yes, I know that Ginga is with Gramma and those previously passed are together for eternity now. (cussing and causing mayhem I bet!) ... I enjoyed watching her and Gramma\'s escapades...thank you so much for giving us memories of them both. Please accept my deepest Condolences. with Love from Liverpool (UK).

To the family of Ginga, We so enjoyed watching her and Gramma on their home videos. We loved them so much that we flew from Washington state to Pennsylvania and rented a car to go visit their hometown of Clarksburg WV and drove by Gramma's house. We hope she knew how many laughs she gave us and others with her wit, zest and positive outlook on life. Sorry for your loss.
