Hello,my name is Phyllis Butler O’Brien,neighbor of Gina Marie Starno for over 32 years.

Gina is a great person, hard worker , very helpful and a very compassionate individual, especially when it comes to her family and friends.

In past years she has had to endure losing her Dad, brother Billy, fiancé Bruce’s son Bryce and most recently her beloved Uncle Paul (she was the apple of his eye) on January 13th of this year.

She went from handling her Uncle’s affairs and illness to now facing the unthinkable, her Mom Barbara’s recent cancer diagnosis.

Gina has taken leave from her job in the Orange School system, to be there for her Mom and all that comes with her diagnosis. Unfortunately, any paid time Gina had is gone and the struggles of every day reality are not. Being the sole caretaker for her Mom, Gina‘s expenses still will need to be taken care of. They are just added stressors to her situation and I am hopeful that all fellow Westies ( Gina graduated WHHS Class of 1986) and friends will find it in your hearts to please help with her struggles and donate.

Thank you all for any donations and please feel free to share this with your friends and families, so we can make things a little easier for Gina during this time.

God Bless

Phyllis/Pumpkin
