Gina was my 'work wife'. Some of my favorites times of the week was hanging out in our office, talking for hours about everything. We shared so many stories and laughs. She is the reason I decided on getting my Harry Potter tattoo after our other friends teased me, because she knew it would make me happy... And it does. I'm grateful for having her in my life and I'm definitely a better person because of it. Though, I have to admit, our office is lonely without her.

What can i say about someone passing that you love, your heart is breaking into a thousand pieces and you have no choice but to endure it.I have known Gina since my childhood, she is and always will be one of my best friends. I am sure her beautiful spirit will guide us until we meet her again. I love you Gina and I am so thankful for your friendship.

Please know that Gina was one of the nicest people I have ever known. We worked together several years ago and stayed in touch. She cared deeply for friends and family. Everyone near her felt that support. My heart goes out to you, her family, Rick, and the children. I know that your heart is breaking. What a special, special person. With love and prayers, Rebecca Fugate, Asheville, NC

I was very lucky to have Gina as one of my best friends in high school. I have many precious memories of us growing up together that I will always remember. I am very thankful to have spent time with her during such a special time in our lives.

I just heard of Gina's passing and had to extend my sincere condolences. Gina was a lovely lady - a caring spirit and a fiesty personality. I only had the opportunity to see her a couple of times a year and only for the last few years. But she made a lasting impression on me. I will remember her laugh, her joy and her wonderful spirit. I am glad I got to know her!

Gina was a great person . She always knew how to make you smile . She was never rude and cared about everyone around her . We had lost touch over the years but when I spoke with her a couple of mouths ago it was like we were back in 1988 all over again . This world needs more people like her she was a class act and truly a great lady.

I would like to say a few things about Gina that I didn't have the nerve to stand up and say durning the service. I was not close to Gina as some were, she was an old friend and classmate but after my school days we didn't talk or hang out. I did have the chance to message with her on facebook. We talked about old childhood memories and how she was grateful for the out pouring of love and support towards her. The last thing Gina said to me was, God bless and sending love your way.There is not a lot I can say about Gina that you don't already know. Yes she had a beautiful and infectious smile. She was a very sweet, loving, and a kind hearted person. She was beautiful inside and out, an amazing person. In life I have met many people in my travels and I have to say Gina Perry was one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. The one thing said about Gina durning the service that resonates with me the most was she was genuine. Gina was genuine and she was the real deal. She never wavered in who she was. I'm glad I got to know Gina for the short time that I did. I know she will be missed by many. My prayers go out for you. God bless. R.I.P. Gina Perry.

I remember Gina when she and her family lived down the street from us when we were kids-playing softball in some major heat. Such a gentle soul who was kind to many. My thoughts are with your family and fiancee- May you find peace and comfort through the words of others.

Never having the privilege of meeting her, I could only know Gina through her mother Nancy Raby. Knowing Nancy, the love she had for Gina, and reading the hearts of those who speak of Gina, she was truly a jewel of a person. May God's peace, comfort, and love be evident to all touched by this loss.

Gina will eternally be etched in my mind as the beautiful, generous, vibrant, smiling, optimistic young woman that I knew her to be. She is one of those people who will never EVER be forgotten because her legacy lives in the lives that she touched. Gina taught us how to be brave and caring in the face of adversity.

A beautiful, positive spirit: Six years ago, Gina was one of the people who brought me out of a dark past to a more positive environment of friends and colleagues. She always had the bright side. And she helped me see it. I am heartbroken for the loved ones she leaves and my thoughts are with you all.

Gina and I went to college together. We studied in the Art Department. She was the most sincere, smart, talented beautiful, kind, gentle and funny person. She made me feel like a better person for just knowing her. Today I am holding our memories close and thinking of her loved ones at this very difficult time.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words...there are no words to express our loss...so I will leave this photo that Gina gave to me (it remains my screensaver on my computer at work to this day). A constant reminder of beauty, kindness, laughter and so much more, just like Gina was for so many of us.

Nancy and Brian,
Words can not describe the pain and sorrow that I feel, since learning of Gina's passing.
I have stood in your shoes two times now and I can honestly say, its a terrible place to be.
Gina was always such a sweet little girl and from what I am hearing, she was an amazing adult.
My heart and prayers are with you and all your family.
With a heavy heart and many tears, I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss but I know that your baby girl, will be such a beautiful angel..
Losing a child is the worst pain that a parent should ever have to experience.
My deepest sympathies,
Sherry Price

My sympathies and thoughts go out to Rick, Elisha, Josiah, Zion and Gina's family. Gina was such a good person through and through. It is so hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I will never see her smile or hear her sweet voice again. I am honored to have been able to call her my friend. She will be deeply missed by so many. May she rest in peace now.

I believe that Gina was an angel sent from heaven to be with us for a short time.When she was on the Powell High softball team she was loved by all the players. Her sweet personality brought an energy to the team. Gina made everyone feel like you were her best friend! She is in heaven sitting next to Jesus. Christa Shaw
