I met Gini through the Pet Talk website after she planned the first CA BBQ in 2003. I instantly felt she was someone I'd be happy to have in my life. She became like a Mom to me as we got to know each other - sending me messages letting me know she was thinking of me, visiting me in the hospital, driving together to see Sara and Slick, taking my kitties in when a fire was headed my way and I had to be at a hospital in LA, etc, etc, etc. Gini was a light in our world. An absolute JOY to be around - even in the rare serious times spent w her. I won't ever forget our talks and the one-on-one time we spent together - along with all those truly unforgettable PT meetings. I love and will miss you always, Mom. xoxoxox
