Goodbye dear friend. What fun we had in Acapulco.

Sincerest Condolences. My mother and father (Pat and Pete) loved GiGi dearly. I remember her when my folks would take us to Ben's. GiGi was always the warm welcoming heart. Peace.

My condolences to Gigi's family and her close friend Bonnie Bell. Gigi was a staple at City Limits, where I work. I had the opportunity to listen to many of their wonderful stories. They were facinating, funny and sometimes blushing! Gigi will not be forgotten. R.I.P.

As a first cousin to Gloria, I remember her smile, laughter and zest for life with great fondness. I so admire her care of her mother(my Aunt Loretta). I regret that I will not be able to attend her services.
