Gini

[Randi]

We have lost an exceptional sweet woman. Gini was unique, she was empathetic, fun, generous and had such style. The world will be poorer without her.

Gini was suffering the last few years, but she didn’t complain - she was so brave.

I am glad I got to know and meet her, first at the 2005 BBQ she held - we were all welcomed with open arms and she was the perfect host. Those days are some I will remember and treasure for the rest of my life. The fire brigade Phred sent was a hoot and Gini so enjoyed that, like we all did.

The second time I met Gini was for Christmas lunch in 2010. We had time to sit quietly and chat, so that was special, too. When Sara and I drove off, we noticed a fire engine overtaking us... it was no. 29, the exact same one that Phred had sent!

I like to imagine Gini and Phred catching up at the RB... with John too. Rascal will surely be there to greet his mommy.

I will miss Gini very much, she kept in touch over all those years and was such a good friend.

Rest in peace, dear Gini!

This is my favorite picture of her:

Such sad news. Even though I never had the chance to meet her, I feel the loss of a Pet Talk family member.

RIP Gini

Heartbreaking. RIP sweet Gini. The world is a little less bright now.

I'm so sorry about Gini. My flights of angels sing her to her rest.

Oh my goodness! I had no idea until I saw Noahsmommy's note in Malachi's thread! I'm so so sad to hear about this. Gini was such a beautiful and wonderful woman who opened her home to us pet talkers on a number of occasions! She was also very supportive of me when I was going through some very difficult times and her support was always so appreciated. I had no idea she was struggling with her health and am heartbroken to hear this news...especially today. I'm sure she will take good care of Malachi for me...tears are just flowing a lot today...and even moreso now...Love you, Gini!

What sad news. Emphysema is such a cruel disease. She is surely rejoicing now, breathing easy and free.
