It's so sad to write yet again about the passing of a loved one. Gina was my "identical cousin" as we used to say. She was such a great friend and fun companion as kids, teenagers, and grownups. On my last birthday she said "Can you believe we are middle aged?!". I really can't. I still think of us as we were here back in 1984 or so by the looks of it.
Gina really was one of the funniest and funnest people in my life. I have a million happy memories of her. All the way back to when we were about 4 and Gina had the idea to pick flowers from her Mom's garden and go door to door to sell them (I think we made about 45 cents!). And all the way forward to just this last August when Gina gave Eloise and Owen a bunch of presents for "Christmas in August!" How fun and sweet is that?

Jennifer, cousins are some of our oldest and "bestest" friends. You and Gina had a very special "cousin" love since you were very, very young. Although it is heartbreaking, you were so lucky to have had such a relationship. Very few of us do.
Love you, Aunt Sally
Jennifer,
I too think of you and Gina as the darling girls in this picture.
Hang onto those memories!
Love, Michael
