"Our Beloved Chosen Child, Gigi"
1962-1993
--Submitted by Louise and J.D. DeVillier--
Gigi, and her brother, John, were Chosen by God to make us a family. Our home was
truly blessed by the presence of these two beautiful children - Chosen by God to grace our
lives. Our lives were made richer still as they grew to adulthood and married and
had children of their own.
Then, the time came for the Little Girl Child, whom we lovingly called
"Gigi", to depart this world and return to her maker. The vessel that
contained her Spirit, (her body), was skin that was soft to the touch....illusive, creamy,
misty... An earthly covering around her soul that always seemed to glow. Her
laughter, generosity, unconditional love, and zest for living are profoundly missed by all
who knew and loved her.
There is just one, however, who will never know the warmth of her soft skin or the sound
of her voice, and that is her daughter. When Gigi left this earth, she left behind a
nine month old baby daughter. Gigi helped to make one couple a family, but had
to leave her own behind.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for loaning your Gigi to us for thirty years....and for
leaving a little bit of her behind in her daughter.
