It was an honor and a privilege to work with Ginny on child advocacy efforts in the 1980s.  We founded the Children's Advocacy Network together and collaborated on many efforts on behalf of children in MA.  She was a tireless advocate and a great friend. Rest in Peace Ginny.  Michael Coughlin

Ginny was more than an inspiration-she was  the "real thing". She inspired many young social workers to find their voice and raise it in the halls and places where it mattered. She made such "good trouble"! Well done Ginny! We will miss your voice, your laugh and hopefully will keep your spirit.
