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.

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
