Dear Skip & family,
I was so saddened to hear of Gina's passing. She was one of the kindest, gentlest souls (angel on earth) that anyone could have met. She was always a positive and uplifting woman and I learned a lot about family and life from our many talks together. I loved her. My heart is aching for all of you. Our love and prayers are with you. I know she is sipping her tea in heaven! All my love.. Michelle Jacobik

Dear Skip and Boys,
I had the pleasure of knowing your wife / mother, initially as a client and then as both a client and friend. There was an instant bond from the outset as your wife / mother was a TINY LADY with a HUGE HEART. I cannot imagine anyone who had any interaction with "Gina" who was not touched by her LOVE - for others and for life, itself. People like her are hard to find, people who genuinely care, and to have known her as my friend is a treasure I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Some friendships do not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers.
~ Proverbs 18:24
I will miss her immensely because she was that kind of loyal friend.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
May God comfort you during this time of loss and sorrow; may He cover you with His everlasting arms and bring you to a place of peace.

Dear Skip and Family,
We are saddened to hear of Gina's passing. We have many happy memories of spending time with all of you back in our Navy days. Gina was always a beacon of light, kindness and gentleness.
She helped me understand so much about sewing that Roger and I tackled (and successfully) reupholstered a huge easy chair and footstool with plaid fabric, getting it lined up properly and keeping its pattern intact. We couldn't have done it without her advice.
Mostly, I'll remember her kindness and soft spoken manner which belied her strength of spirit. Go dance with the Angels, Gina! Godspeed. Our love and prayers are with all of you.
Love,
Roger and Robin Elder
