Anthony and Kimber would like to wish their condolences to the entire family. I worked with Gina for years, and she always spoke highly of her Mom and entire family. I promise besides my own mother’s service, I have never been able to watch a more beautiful piece. That 46:35 video was so beautiful and I wished I had that many memories! I’m so glad that family was able to include and receive that much loving footage. Our Condolences to everyone. I love you Gina!

Gina and Nick I am so sorry for your loss. Pat and I worked together long before her illness. I tried to reconnect but I was unable to do so. Today Pat came to mind and I tried again to find her on Google. To my great sorrow, her obituary came on line. I was able to hear the wonderful service you had for her. She was a truly remarkable women and she possessed every quality you expressed in spades. You and Nick were still at home with her when I knew her. I remember how much she loved you both. She always had a funny story to share regarding you too. Please know that you and Nick are in my thoughts and prayuers.
