Gucci and Dr. P were the most fun loving peopleI have ever met. I remember the wedding in Puerta Vallarta and their fun, excitement and you could see the love they had for each other. That was the most fun at a destination wedding and Gucci looked like the cover of a magazine and her taste was impeccable. A true fashionista, life of the party and the love of all of her wonderful family. She will be missed.

I hope heaven is ready for Geri's grand entrance. I was lucky to have her as my fairy godmother, she was the best. Sending my love to Doc and the Picchietti family.
