To Gina's Family,

I am a friend from Holy Cross and my heart is filled with sadness today. Gina was the nicest and sweetest person. Although we have only seen each other occasionally since college, my memories of Gina are that she was truly an angel on earth. May you Rest In Peace, beautiful Gina.

I had the great privilege and honor to be friends with Gina for the last 38 years, since we were 18, beginning our freshman year at Holy Cross.

Gina was a person of great beauty and grace both inside and out.

I also had the great honor to be with her in some of her final hours.

She will be very sorely missed by so many of us.

Rest in peace, my dear friend, free from earthly suffering.

We will meet again.

Love you and miss you.
