Gina was the #1 Travel Agent and top BEST Practitioner. She has traveled the world; touched so many lives with her kindness, helped people achieve their dreams, overcome their personal obstacles, and always made sure that everyone else was taken care of before herself. She may have been a Bill Belichick/Patriots fan, but she did not deflate those footballs! Most importantly, she was a wonderful life partner to the love of her life Shavell and a loving daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and aunt. When Gina walked in, the light she carried with her shined brightly. We are grateful for the time, laughter, and love we have shared with Gina.
