Gina…sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. You’ve got another Guardian Angel watching over you.
Gina,
Our hearts go out to you and the family. I can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that we had such a great visit last October. She was and will always be my dearest friend and even though we lived so far apart she was always in my thoughts and prayers, and you also. I have so many great memories that I will treasure. Tonight we gave her a toast in the Italian restaurant we were eating at…I know she was up in heaven chuckling!! You are the most amazing daughter, God Bless you.
Love, Janet

Dear Gina,
Your mother meant so much to me. She was always there when i needed a shoulder to cry on or to encourage me when i needed a lift. We always had something to laugh and joke about every time we talked. She will be greatly missed by everyone she knew.
