Our dearest sweet little Gina you are missed so much by the many people who loved you. You touched so many people with your kind and compassionate heart and your sweet smiling face. My heart breaks for your family and especially your Mom, Dad, and Steve. Your precious life on earth has come to an end, but your heavenly life has begun, spread your wings and continue your loving care of those who have gone before you.
