Gina is one of the most kind hearted loving lady that I had the pleasure of knowing. Gina was like my second mom and I will miss her forever. My memories are endless and my whole heart goes out to her kids, her grandkids and her entire family. I love you Gina may you RIP FOREVER
My sincere condolences to family and friends. Georgina was somewhat of a big sister to me throughout my childhood during they’re Water St days when Sheila and I spent our days seeing what trouble we could find! I will always have fond memories of her. Rest in Peace Georgina 🙏
I lived behind Gina for years, her son Andrew is my oldest friend. I remember many days and nights sitting in my backyard hearing upbeat country music and coming from Gina’s home and her unapologetic voice singing along :)
I’ll always remember Georgina and the day she put me on the back of someone bike to take me home after I walk on a hot stone (to close to the fire) on the beach in front of her house. I haven’t seen her in years but she was the sweetest and kindest person. Im very sorry to hear of her passing.
Gina,
My friend you were an amazing truly giving soul.
You were the 1st person I met in Guelph over 30 years ago and I will cherish all the beautiful memories.
Wow!!! I just found this! I have fond memories of her! So does Brian.
