I was Gina's cat sitter for 5 years. I've often believed that you can accurately judge the goodness in a person by how they treat animals, and by that measure Gina was one of the best people I have known. She loved her cats dearly and gave them the best lives possible, and in turn I know they nourished her emotionally and spiritually. But Gina was also unbelievably kind to people. She never failed to leave a thoughtful little gift for me and/or my infant daughter when I came to watch her cats, and she was always leaving sweet comments on pictures of my dog or baby that she saw on Facebook. Gina will be greatly missed.
