Captain Karlowicz, My heartfelt feelings are with you at this time. It is said that the toughest job in the Navy, is Navy Wife, and I know that Ginny served her Navy, country and family in the greatest way. Knowing Ginny was a blessing in my life, and sharing a little bit of what you and Mrs. Karlowicz shared gave me a better understanding of the true meaning of love. I thank you for that…you are in my thoughts.
Mitch Anne and I send you and your family our condolences in behalf of your wife Jinny. my Daughter Kim Diana Mother of Lisa Diana just told me about Jinny. Regards Jim Anderson
