My companion Sister Tisha Hearle & I were honored to watch the October general conference (2024) with Sister Pirri one year ago today. Her spirit and excitement to watch conference with us will always be remembered. I still carry her testimony of the prophet President Nelson today.

A couple years ago we had a small Thanksgiving dinner in my little apartment. Gianna came and even brought a pumpkin pie from Marie Calendars. We tried to get one the day before with no success but somehow, thanks to John, she arrived with a delicious Marie Calendars pumpkin pie to share with us. She was a great friend to me. I loved spending time with her and she loved feeding the missionaries. So together we would take the missionaries out to lunch once a week. The missionaries appreciated the good meal, we enjoyed spending time with servants of the Lord. I learned many things from Gianna. She loved her sons beyond measure. She worshiped her loving Father in Heaven faithfully. She was kind to those she cared for and always did nice things to help people out. I miss her and know she is in a happy place. We will meet again, until then rest in peace dear Gianna.

Yvonne Evett with Gianna. These two were good friends in sickness and health. They fought cancer together. Showing support for each other along the journey. Now they can reunite together in heaven.

Her we are in front of the Los Angeles Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Gianna, was very good at taking care of the missionaries in our ward and would often take them to lunch. It was her way of serving her fellow men and serving the Lord.

Gianna, loved to go to the temple and was excited about doing the ordinances for her ancestors. We used to listen to hymns on the way to the temple and she would sing along with the songs she knew. She had such a sweet spirit and truly loved the Lord.
