We will miss you always Gina, our dear friend. We always enjoyed being with you and your kind, generous heart and happy laugh. For the past nearly 30 years we have considered you and Roger among our best friends. We were fortunate to travel with you to many places both within and outside the U.S. especially Hawaii and Norway. We remember the many special occasions together, dinners out, and card games at our homes. We will cherish these memories forever. We are thankful that you are now resting with the peace of the Lord.
Love, Norma and Einar
