For Gina, Life's a Beach!
Life might not always bring sun, but when my older sister Gina gets in a funk, she finds solace at the Jersey Shore.

Gina loves the beach! So far this year (2006), she has spent almost every weekend there. She rented an apartment in Seabright, New Jersey, on New Street, right next door to Mary Patichio (our sister). The Atlantic ocean is just one block away.
Currently, Gina’s primary residence is with my mother in Rutherford, New Jersey. She takes care of Mom in her old age, keeping her safe and warm. After Dad died, Gina moved in and took charge of what was sure to become a dire financial situation. Gina re-mortgaged the house (176 West Newell Avenue), canceling out Mom and Dad’s reverse mortgage. That finance option, often taken by the elderly, would have eventually led to loss of the house.
