Gina,
I was so sorry to see that your Mom has passed. Ginny was the coolest, kindest, sweetest Mom to all of us in the Neighborhood. She and Gene are part of a lot of my best memories of growing up. So happy that we were right next door for those years. Much love and prayers for you and the family during this time. Heaven has another Angel :)
