I had the pleasure of working with Gina at IBM. She was such a beautiful person, inside and out....always a warm smile and lots of laughter. Gina, along with her dear friend Betty McDonald, paved the way for women managers in the administrative field. My deepest sympathy to her beloved family during this difficult time.
