Mrs. Johnson and the all of the family,
I am so surprised to find that Gina has passed. I remember working with her at Grandma's restaurant, camping in your backyard with Gina and Karen, and all the fun times we had growing up in the small Vernon Hills.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have some peace knowing how well she is remembered. With great fondness, Roberta Yanda Wilson
