I did my internship when I was a Human Service Student at BCC, at The Christian Center along side of Gina. She had already graduated the very same program and was working as a social worker for a very underserved population. I will never forget her care and concern for her clients. I have thought of her many times over the last few years and I am deeply saddened to hear about her death. May dear Miss Gina rest in peace, and may all who knew and loved her be blessed by her presence in their lives. The world is definitely not as bright a place with her gone.

Gina always expressed her love for her family and friends. She never had an unkind word to say about most anyone. She had a gift to see the silver lining in just about any situation. My friend how I will miss your smile most of all. If it was a cloudy day, that smile would light up the world. I will miss you asking me "where are you going to travel to next?" As I write this Gina, please know that you will always shine your light on your family and friends from above. My prayers and sincerest condolences to the family.

Gina your energy and enthusiasm shone so bright... I could not have asked for a better sister-in-law... every day when I cry for you it is because you have left such a hole so I will try to fill it with the love and spirit for which you lived your own life. Love you SIL
