    I'm in shock. Thanks for letting us know about this. I'm so thankful to have met her when she hosted her famous LA PT BBQ's. She was such a wonderful and caring person. RIP Gini.

    OK, we need to get the wheels rolling as we have been given to "go ahead" to find a loving home for Annie and Emma. When I get home later today I will get pictures posted and share, share and share on FB as well as here. For those techie people (Catty?) feel free to search out pictures of them posted in the past by Gini. Also, Gini's younger brother will be emailing Kelly and I some recent pictures of Annie and Emma. Apparently, they could both use a bit of a kitty diet....

    The memorial was just as Gini would have wanted it - few tears and many belly laughs.

    What a wonderful person. I'm so sorry for her loss. My deepest sympathy to her family and all who love her and grieve her so very much.

    Rest in peace, dearest Gini. greeted with so much love by so many beloved friends at the Bridge.

    So, I went to Gini's Memorial yesterday ... It was beautiful and exactly what Gini would have wanted. Her loved ones keeping it positive and remembering her when she was healthy and happy. I know she was there laughing and crying with us. The speeches given by her family and Pam were so touching and reminded me how many people she had in her life praying for and loving her. I know that while there were a lot of people there, there were countless that couldn't be - lives she touched as well.
    Here are a few pics - I also recorded the speeches, but need to ask permission before I post them here, I hope you all understand. I signed the guest book for the PTers too - so you were all there.

    Here are a few pics. First is Slick and I having breakfast at the Roof - atop her hotel. Gini sure sent us a beautiful day, didn't she?

    Second is of the guest book table - that beautiful arrangement was sent by Pam, Gini's good friend and neighbor.

    The third is the guestbook I signed for PTers that couldn't be there. More coming...

    OK, more pics…
    The first one is Gini's brother Bill…

    Second is Slick and I holding hands - it was so very nice having Slick there with me. It was nice to be comforted when I needed it.

    The third is of a picture of Rascal I brought - sitting on one of the flower arrangements w Gini at its center. They are together now.

    Fourth is a better view of Gini in her flowers.

    I am so sad to hear that Gini has passed. She was a dear, dear lady and I too was fortunate to meet her personally. Godspeed dear friend.

    I am pretty speechless at the moment.

    Gini was an original.

    RIP Friend.

    I was so glad she was back on Pet Talk after being so ill a while back.

    It doesn't seem possible - Gini!

    Oh, my. This is such sad news. I noticed that her candles on the PT gratefulness.org page went missing several days ago. I'm sure that Corinna, Phred and Terry were ready to welcome her. Dear Gini.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
