I remember Gina from high school. She was also kind to everyone.
Gina made everything fun. It didn’t matter if it was putting on a yard sale, going to the casino for a concert or hanging out for wine night. She always had a smile and a kind word for those around her. I will miss her dearly and I am so sorry for your loss.
Sarah and Brad our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.
My fondest teenage memories are time spent with Gina: rockin’ out to Led Zeppelin, Lynryd Skynyrd, and the J. Geils Band; pushing her Volkswagen Beetle down Main Street when it stalled and working next to Gina and Mindy in Perry’s Wacky T-Shirt Shack. What I will remember most is Gina’s smile and infectious laugh, relentlessly positive attitude, strength, dignity and grace. She is an inspiration to us all and will be deeply grieved and missed. My sympathies to her family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
thoughts and prayers to all in need, she will greatly missed by all god bless you all.

I just saw Gina at the pharmacy a couple weeks ago and all she talked about were her grandkids. Classmate, Neighbor and Friend, you’ll be missed.
