Gina's Family & Friends,
Gina had the gift to always make you laugh, sometimes at her most of the time with her. All who knew her are truly saddened by her passing. She had a light inside that showed up in her smiles, her laughter, all that she was. She was well loved. Those she leaves behind are in our prayers. We hope that time passes for you peacefully knowing that Gina is in a most wonderful place.

Stringer Family,
I just received the news about Gina. Gina used to work for me in the SSCC I'll never forget her first week she was with us, she was so nervous and thought she would never make it. She was a wonderful lady and have many wonderful memories of her and our old work group. I wished i could have been there for the service but it was to late when I found out. I will truly miss her and her great smile. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

For the loss you have had, words can’t express the sympathy we feel for the family and all that you’re going through right now. Sometimes that hurt is just way too big for words. Words can not heal but hopefully time will. Gina was a wonderful person, I didn’t know her very well but she had a smile for everyone she passed at Verizon and that will always be remembered. May God Bless Your Family and give you strength in your time of need.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Gina, was the type of person, if you just met her once, you would never forget her. You couldn't help but smile when she was around. But family and friends, know that she's in a better place, because you could tell her heart was golden and know she's always with you, as long as you never forget, what she meant to you.

Dear Stringers
I remember the 30 years ago when you moved in across the street from us on dear old Brookside. I loved to come to your house and play with Cheree and "the babies." Those babies being Gina and Rachel.
Know that you are loved and are in our prayers. I'm sure Gina had quite the welcome wagon in Heaven with her Daddy there to greet her.
Much love

To Cheree Brown and Family,
I know it's hard to understand and the many tears you all have cried.
So many questions and no answers why.
The angels called for her and beckoned her home much sooner than we'd planned.
God knows best, therefore, we must not complain.
She will never be replaced and her memory book will never close --
She will live in your heart forever, her laughter, her smile, her joy.
My deepest and sincere condolences, May God be with you & your family during this difficult time.

My heart felt smypathy, thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you dear family members. I remember Gina being much like her great-grandmother, Ma-Ma, and Ma-Ma would have loved knowing that a blood member of the family actually descended from her own cheerful, light-hearted, sassy, and lovable self. Gina will continue to hold a special place in my heart as she always seemed to make me feel welcomed and special when in all actuality it might have been some time since I had seen her last. Gina's very presence lightened up any room and gave a smile to everyone. God bless you beautiful child until we meet again.
Love, Aunt Patsy
