Like the diamonds she once sold, Giesela was both beautiful and tough. She was far too radiant to enter a room unnoticed. Envied by women half her age for her elegance, grace and charm, she was also admired for her direct communication, loyalty, and tenacity.
She never let a case of butterflies stop her from delivering her best dance performances. Together, it is no wonder she and Frank were a winning team. They amazed audiences with their dramatic and complicated ballroom routines. Even with so much success, Giesela remained friendly and humble.
I will always be grateful for Giesela's kindness and warm friendship. She had a knack for knowing just the right words to say, and seemed to sense the feelings and attitudes of those around her. Giesela was a gorgeous woman with a classic but extravagant flair. My memory of her will serve as a beacon reminding me that true beauty always exudes from within.
I was very sad to hear of Giesela's passing. I wish I would have spent more time with her. I cannot imagine the grief of her dear family. Especially to Frank and Kim, I send my deepest condolences. To her family members I have not met, I also send my deep condolences. The world has lost a beautiful gem. Rest in peace, dear Giesela.
In Loving Memory,
Anne La Zara
