I have a lovely photo of you both together wearing wigs that she sent me. You are SO alike. Gina and I were talking of meeting up again this coming September. Sadly, so very sadly that can't now happen. There's a huge hole in my life - I miss her but I'm sure never as much as her family. I think of you all each day.Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-25759082445560047872012-02-27T01:47:43.442+00:002012-02-27T01:47:43.442+00:00Jane, your words of tribute to my sister were beau...Jane, your words of tribute to my sister were beautiful. Of all of her many many tatting friends she had, your name is so very familiar to me, for she spoke of you often. I met some of you when I traveled with her to New York to one of the tatting gatherings. It is hard to accept that she is gone but after reading some of these tributes I am realizing that physically she may be gone, but she has definitely left her mark forever in the hearts of many many people. I am in awe of how many lives she touched.

Gina was a favorite of mine, we always chatted, shared email and had fun things to talk about no matter what.

I believe she could make her cord and I have always stuggled with remembering how to make. Pat Pike it seems like every year has to show me again how to do it. I crochet left handed and so does Pat. The UTubes always show how it is done right handed and it is so hard for me to turn my brain around. Crocheting and writing is really the only thing I do left handed. I knit and tat right handed. I don't now why ...I just do. But I do love her Romanian point lace things she has made. I miss Gina already and the memorial Online made me cry today. I haven't cried in a long time.

I was quite disbelieving as I read Isdahara's and Diane's posts. <br /><br />Thank you, Jane, for being 'with' and comforting Gina last Fall when most of us had no idea what she was going through. I'm so glad you had also met and visited with her on several occasions. <br /><br />Gina's posts were always cheerful last Fall, and, as usual, full of useful information and exceptional tatting and other needlework - and artwork. Then on Jan. 9 came our realization of her difficulties plus the great news that she was in remission. I remember being stunned and relieved at the same time. Then she just kept posting in her usual cheerful way. <br /><br />I had wondered why she had been 'silent' since Feb.4, but she had sometimes taken a break in posting so I didn't think too much about it. <br /><br />While feeling overwhelmed with sadness, I began to review Gina's blog, and I realized that her 9th blogaversary was - Feb. 13. I was absolutely stunned. Then I remembered that last year she had a giveaway to eight tatters to celebrate her 8th, and I was one of the lucky recipients of a surprisingly large box of goodies. I had forgotten what time of year I received it; then it all came back. <br /><br />Gina was so generous in so many ways, and I feel as though I have lost a dear friend, even though we never met in person. I have so many other thoughts but am at a loss right now to express them.Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.com
