Amy, my most precious memory of your mom was the day I visited with her, you and your brand new baby--Brooklyn. She was the proudest grandma I've ever seen. Oh, how she loved that little girl. May the Lord bless you with his peace and comfort today and always. I believe in guardian angels and I'm quite certain your mom will be watching each of you in the days to come. Much love, Marj Eldard

Gigi - When I think of you I think of SUNSHINE. Oh so many, many memories. We went to lunch a month and I have a picture from that day. We giggled and laughed like little kids. It didn't matter how much time between visits - the instant we met again - the connection was always there. You loved me without reserve. When we'd hang up the phone after talking the last thing you always said was, "Love you girlfriend." I love you Gigi.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of my friend Gigi and horselover. We talked many hours about horses and dogs and her trips to Idaho. She was a good friend and always was in good spirits all the time. She was so understanding and was always there for you if you had a bad day at work and her smile always made you smile. I will miss you always Gigi and may the Lord be with you in a better place. To the Loy family I want to say how sorry I am for your loss during these difficult times. I even learned that she knew some of my family also and that seemed to make us even closer.

Amy & Josh I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss, I know that you will hear it alot in the days to come and there will be little comfort. Your mother was one of the most caring and sincere people I think I have ever met. Always looking for the good in people where sometimess there was not any to be found. She had a way about her and she shined. Her laughter would brighten even the darkest of days and she always knew when you needed her. I could think of her and it was like she new and would call me, I will miss her and think of her always. You both will be in my thoughts. I just received notice of her viewing and service and am unable to make it and my heart breaks.

To all of Gigi's family...I am just so sorry. I worked with Gigi at Nestle until I left to sell real estate. She was such a wonderful woman and so caring. She talked of her children, Brooklyn and her dogs all the time. I know they meant the world to her. Gigi was the kind of person anyone would want to be around. I remember going to lunch with her one day and just spontaniously she wanted to go to Bear Lake to show me a cabin a friend of hers had for sale. So off we went. She stopped a guy on a four wheeler to take a picture of the two of in front of the 'Welcome to Idaho" sign. She was a very strong woman and had such a desire to live. Even on a bad day she was always so positive. I loved her spirit and very much appreciate the friendship we had. I will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. God Bless.
