A very hot Sunday - 111 degrees on the car thermometer - 95 degrees ambient air temp. A traditional Pipe Ceremony was done for her by her son Michael Walton, aka Nitamabidhamaiwimen. In attendance were her Aunt Edith Norris, her sister Margaret and her sister's husband Fred Bragdon. Mike's wife Soft Spoken Decker was also there assisting in the ceremony. Mother is free and unfettered - we put the ashes in the dirt - no bags or boxes to hold her down. Mom's request was to be scattered in the mountains of California. I also wanted a gravestone and some remains to place in the cemetery where generations of our family was buried back In Poland, Maine. In Las Vegas my brother Rick and I mixed her ashes with a former boyfriends at her request and then split the ashes in half. When we were done I placed my half in the trunk of my rental car. As I walked away to talk to Rick the container with her ashes came out of the trunk and landed on the ground. You explain it as I cannot. I told Rick I guessed Mom did not want to ride in the trunk so I picked up the container and placed her on the front seat and seat belted her in. A year later the people listed for the funeral ceremony were all walking to the site in the small cemetery. The ashes I had were in a plastic bag inside a black plastic box with a snap lid that you had to really work at to open. I had the box under my arm. A audible pop was heard and the bag with her ashes was on the ground. I picked the remains up and told Mom she was going to be buried here whether she liked it or not.

Date: January 16, 2004 Gini was a friend and a colleague in the book selling business. I knew her from her first days in Las Vegas more than 20 years ago when she and her husband set up a store selling fine books on many subjects. Gini was an expert in many fields of book selling and any other subject you wished to discuss. In other words, Gini was able to offer an opinion on anything and anybody and her opinions were strong. Gini could see right through a phony and had no problem pointing out deceptions in the book trade. Several of her colleagues were taken to task when she felt they were not accurately describing their wares or were overstating their prices. No one could escape her straight shooting approach, and, you could always count on getting good product at a fair price from her. The book selling community misses her acerbic wit and her skills. We have missed her active participation in recent years as illness took its toll. We will now miss her more than ever.
