Gina Rose Montalto

each heart with an infectious smile that lit up a room. She was

instant friends with everyone she met. She had a great sense of

humor, and always made people laugh. She was a kind spirit,

always eager to lend a helping hand. She was a member of her

school Color Guard - a team which she loved dearly, a Girl Scout,

and active member in her local church. She was a talented artist

who illustrated for a local magazine. She enjoyed volunteering

and loved little kids. She loved to cook with her Father and her

Grandmother, especially during the holiday season. She was an

avid reader and loved Harry Potter books, Hunger Games and

Wonder Woman. She loved fashion and enjoyed shopping, spa

days with Mom and NY Jets games with Dad. She played soccer

and flag football in the local recreational leagues. She always

earned the highest grades in school and had a bright future ahead

of her. She was best buddies with her little brother and she loved

her whole family especially all her cousins.

Gina will be missed not only by her family, but by everyone whose

life she touched. We would like to thank law enforcement and

the first responders for all the support they provided during the

chaotic event. We want to thank everyone for the love, prayers and

support we have received and we ask that everyone continue to

pray for us and all the victims of this senseless tragedy. We are

blessed to live in such a wonderful community.
