My deepest condolences Gina was my neighborhood friend. I have so many beautiful memories sleep overs, birthday parties and playing in her little house in the backyard. She will live forever in my memories and in my heart❤️
I'm very sorry of your loss,our prayers are with you and your Family ?. Gina was a very good person and friend. I will miss her. God Bless You and your Family.
Raul, Mrs. Vazquez, Laura, Mariana, and Monica, We share your heartache and grief, and wish you comfort and peace to help ease your loss. Gina was a kind, gentle, and happy soul whose legacy lives on, I know she will dazzle the good Lord with the piano as she chimes in with King David's harp.
Heaven's gain was our loss. My sincerest condolences to Raul, Samantha and Nicole. Gina will be missed by all who knew her.
Raul, Sammy, Nicky, Mrs. Vazquez, Laura, Mariana, Moni: I am in disbelief and feel empty by the very tragic news. But let us be consoled by the fact that Gina is not sad but experiencing the ultimate peaceful joy. Truly, the memories of my youth with the Vazquez’ remain the dearest to me. One of my favorite memories of Gina is admiring my best friend’s big sister and thinking she was so cool when she played the piano, as that was a talent I wanted for myself. I vividly recall sitting by the piano, mesmerized, just watching and listening to Gina play. Laura, my sweet best friend, I cry with you at the loss of your lovely big sister. I send my undying love to all of you. Be at peace for God’s will is always righteous. Sandra Villanueva
My heart is full of saddness for Gina's family in the news of her passing. However, knowing that she is with Jesus and is now pain free gives me great comfort. I pray the family will feel the peace that only our Lord can give.
Dearest Raul, Samantha, Nicole, and all of the Vazquez and Rodriguez families. We are praying that you find comfort through our Lord’s love. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. My sweet childhood friend I bet you witnessed an awesome beautiful sight as you entered through those heavenly gates! You are in King Jesus’s presence and singing hallelujah to Him! I will meet you at those heavenly gates at my appointed time one day and see you again my beloved friend. May the Lord surround you all with peace and comfort in the days ahead. Respectfully, Melissa and Noe Lopez
