Gina was a friend since our days studying journalism at ASU. I shared many laughs with her. I last saw her several years ago when I visited ASU. I am honored and blessed to have known such a kind, talented woman.

I first met Gina when I was working for Coach Cat as a student manager. I switched to the SID office and got to work next to Gina every day. She was a wonderful mentor and a joy to be around. She loved her school and her job and will be forever missed. Rest in Peace.

I met Gina in a PIO class put on by the State in 2009. What I didn't know then was that once you become a friend of hers - it was for life. One of the nicest persons anyone could ever meet. Her friendship meant a lot and her wit and wisdom will he missed. Prayers for her family and friends! Sam

Gina holds a special place in my heart. She, Phareta, Mike and all the Bowmans were so nice to me and I’ll never forget all the good times. Some people make a lifelong impact and Gina was one of those people. May God bless and comfort her family and friends.

I was so blessed to call Gina a friend and shared the love and supporting Arkansas State University. She will never be replaced with all her knowledge about ASU. I think she took a secret to her grave, that she was Governor Beebe informant when it came to ASU sports RIP by friend
