To the family of Ginger Alba,
I was so sorry to hear about Ginger. We lived down the street from her on 6th street for a long time. She would come by and ask about my kids as they were growing up. She will be missed around Lamar.

Ginger was a treasure....blessed with life long innocence of a child, a hidden musical talent and eagerness to please....Many times I would hear the low moans of a harmonica playing along with the song blasting from the KVAY in house speakers.....soon I would find Ginger tucked in a hall way corner , harmonica in hand. Her most requested tune, Dwight Yoakam's, Pocket of a Clown. She is now with her beloved mother and rests gently in the arms of our Father. Sadly we will no longer see the child-like, stocking cap figure making her daily rounds from the sidewalks of Lamar she called home. Chris Bauer |

I have a soft spot in my heart for Ginger Alba. She would always stop by my music store and give me a hard time. We jammed together a few times. Me on guitar and her on her harmonica, which by the way, she played very well. I was impressed. God speed Ginger, my friend.... Rick McCorkle |
