Her health troubles began again in 2009 when she devel- oped pain in her hips, back and knees. She is currently recover- ing after suffering a broken femur in December. Tests are being done to determine whether sur- gery may be required for a frac- ture in her right femur. Yet, Ginny has continued to help her family and they have al- so stuck by her. “I could not appreciate fully the massive gift of self she gave and still gives me daily until I be- came a parent myself,” Major Ackerman said. “In this day and age and how hard we adults all know that it is to raise kids, my mother and what she put into my life makes me sure that kids don’t have to be lost to drugs, crime and non-success in life. You reap in your children’s lives what you parent into them.” Harvey said there are many other stories like the one of her mother walking down the aisle at her wedding. “Because my mother has mod- eled such great faith, strength and character to me even in the midst of life-threatening illness and accidents, I, too, am able to live through my own struggles (with joy) knowing that God can and will bring good from it,” she said. “I can only pray that I may be as great an example of faith to my children as she was to me. This is her living legacy.” BEST Continued from Page 1 Outstanding English Student Award,.
