Gina Montalto Obituary
Gina was a member of the school's winter guard team.
The Sun-Sentinel quoted Gina's mother Jennifer's Facebook post: "She was a smart, loving, caring, and strong girl who brightened any room she entered."
"She was the sweetest soul ever," Manuel Miranda, her former middle school winter guard instructor, told the Miami Herald. "She was kind, caring, always smiling and wanting to help."
Legacy mourns all those who died at Stoneman Douglas.

I'm so sorry ,you lost your daughter, sister ,friend and your light in that horrific tragedy long ago in 2018.
I hope you and other families going through the same or similar tragedies heal and grow through the pain you all must endure .
I can sense her warmth through the screen when I look at photos of her.And I know she would of been a beautiful adult young woman now . May she rest in peace.

You are cherished, loved, and appreciated, even when you're gone. You had such a bright, vibrant life ahead of you, and it breaks my heart to know that it was cut short by such a senseless act of violence. May your soul rest in Heaven along with the other 16 victims of the Stoneman Douglas shooting.

To the family,
My sincerest condolences in the passing of Gina. Please find comfort in the words found at Psalms 37:10-11, "Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." Gina and her classmates (those killed) will be restored to life in paradise. (Luke 23:43)

While I feel horrible for all of the victims, there's a special place in my heart for this beautiful young lady and Alex Schachter, the trombone player. Band geeks (including drill team & color guard) are a family and it doesn't matter where you marched. It's a bond you never lose, no matter how old you grow. Sending her family my deepest condolences from a former USC Trojan Marching Band member.

Today I join the march that took place from FSU to the Capitol in Tallahassee. When I got there, a young men gave me the photo of your beautiful daughter to hold in the Rally.
With tears in my eyes I hold her picture very proud and very high for everyone to see, the names and the faces of the victims.
Although I never met her in person, now I have her picture and she is part of my life.

May God give you the strength to endure this horrible loss. Today at work we had a memorial for the 17 victims. Their names were printed on pieces of paper and at the end, people were asked to take a name and I got Gina's. My promise to Gina is to pray for her soul and to do as much as I can to participate in activities to bring changes to our broken system to keep children safe in our schools.
