My dear, sweet Gini. You brought such joy to my life! From the first day I saw you, sitting on your front porch next door to the little Old Colorado City Victorian bungalow that I had just purchased, to the last conversation when you were rushing out for a fire drill! I've told you many times that meeting you was worth the move to Colorado Springs all by itself!

So many great conversations, meals shared, wanderings through art galleries together, your accompanying me on my return to New Mexico.....

Dear chldren of Gini: I've met many of you and think of you fondly. Know that I'll always be grateful for your mother's presence in my life. And her influence will remain within me -- and shared with others -- all the rest of my life.

I send you my love and good wishes. I'd love to keep in touch with any and all of you.

Much, much love,
