"I met Gina in August 2010 when I joined John C Lincoln as Director of Professional Practice. She was my Administrative Assistant but immediately became a wonderful friend. Gina was a Godsend. We laughed and enjoyed the ?trials and tribulations? of work! Gina joined PVCC and frequently invited me to come as a Guest Speaker. Love you Gina - until we meet again in Heaven ??"

I will miss Ms. Gina, her feisty personality, and the times we laughed. I hold dear the cards she left on my desk when I would least expect it and the hugs after a trying day. RIH and may God bring peace and comfort to your family and loved ones. "

"Such a sweet loving woman. She will be missed. Working with her on school functions and the St. Jerome parent organization was inspiring to see her dedication to our school and families. Never afraid of hard work or lending a helping hand. God bless you. "
