I coundn't respond here on PT until now - it just seemed like if I did, it'd be real. ������ The only reason I'm OK that it's real is that she's finally free from the pain and life-robbing symptoms of her illness.
Gini, our 'Mom' was truly one of the BEST people I'd ever met. The times spent with Gini - in her home with many PTers or just her and I - will always remain my most favorite memories. She would help anyone in anyway she could think of. Generous, fun and caring. It was so nice to have another Mom that cared for me. Even though towards the end she couldn't speak on the phone, email, or have visitors, I'm grateful I kept up my cards and emails to her - so she would always know I loved and prayed for her. Yes, we DO get busy in our lives, but we don't know how many days we have left and I know Gini always made them count in her own way...even when she couldn't do a whole lot.
My heart aches for her family - those beautiful nieces she held so dear. Her orangies, Emma and Annie...what is to become of them? I'm planning on calling her brother Bill in a few minutes to check on him and I'll let you all know - or Slick will - what we find out.
I'm at least comforted to know she's happy, healthy and free now....an angel that will resume watching out for her girls (((Tonya, Staci, & Me)))) and all she holds dear. I swear I feel her around me this morning and that would be JUST like her, holding us while we cry over her.
������ RIP, sweet Gini. Our loss of you here on Earth makes me happy for when my day comes as I know I'll see you again. ������
