Your daughter was such an amazing person and I am grateful to have been able to know her. I always thought she would be a part of my family and unfortunately it never was. I know what its like to lose a loved one, I lost a sister and the memory of her is always with me and now Giana will be as well. thank you for letting her be with us for the short while she was, we will miss her more than she will know. She was like a long lost sister to me.
Love Aimee

Giana, You will be missed alot down here. I was lucky enough to get to know you at the IIHD! You always made me laugh one memory sticks out in my mind when it was really slow at school (like usual) and it was warm outside you would go outside roll up your sleeves and pants and sit in the sun and tan! It made me laugh everytime! I love you Giana! You always made me feel loved when I would come into Dillards And Buy some make up from you! You are missed and can't wait to re-unite! Love you!

Dick & Debbie:

The Blundell Family wanted you to know how much we loved Giana. She added a lot of sparkle to our lives while she was a part of it. We thought that maybe she might become a part of our family, but unfortunately it was not meant to be. She was to full of life and fun. We thought of her as one of our daughters. Thank you for letting us share a small part of her life with us. We will cherish those memories. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. We know how difficult this time is, as we lost a daugher ourselves.

God Bless You,

Dear Giana,

I still can't believe you're gone! I'm flooded with years of great memories with you. I wish so much that I had told you how much you meant to me. I always considered you one of my best friends and speak of you often. I never leave mad at anyone because of you. Thank you for all of the times we spent together. I love you and will always miss you.

Dick,
I met you just tonight @ The Virgin River dance hall when I asked you to dance with me. You told me about the loss of your precious daughter and I was VERY SORRY to hear about it. I could feel your pain and can only imagine what you must be going through. I have six kids of my own and I treasure them so dearly that it hurt me to hear of your daughters passing. I was glad, however, to see that you and your wife and family was "celebrating" your daughters life instead of going somewhere to hide from the world.
Thank you for the dance - i'm happy to say that I danced with Dick Nourse. I've been seeing you on the news on t.v. since I can remember!! (43 years means I was 12 when you first started... yikes!!) I remember you when you had cancer and I've always recognized you when i've seen you somewhere (whether it be in Applebee's in St. George or in Mesquite...). I've lived in St. George for 39 years and I've seen you around quite often. My husband didn't think i'd dare ask you to dance tonight but, i'm glad that I did. I hope I helped make you smile for at least a little while. It was fun! Don't forget to look me and LARRY up sometime -- we're at the dance hall in The Virgin River almost every weekend (unless we're traveling). Let's have dinner sometime. And... another dance would be nice too.
THANKS again and know that my heart goes out to you now in this time of your loss. BE HAPPY because Giana would want you to be.
love ... marlie, queen of the dance hall. :)

Dearest Giana,
Funny, I never knew your middle name, how beautiful it is! It ryhmes with mine, Marie! One more thing I wish we could have shared.

I will miss your beautiful smile and ever changing hair! You cracked me up when you told me about your plans to sport a mullet cut, which you rocked better than any other mullet I have seen (:

Thank you for always greeting me with a big hug and sweet words, I never understood why you liked me so much, but I adored your attention. I really enjoyed when you would pop into Kristauf's to see me.... (we have a little secret there don't we) ;) and when you came to my birthday party dressed as a cowboy, I promised your dad a copy of a picture I have of you passed out on Quincy's bed.

The last time I saw you, you were the most beautiful pregnant woman I had ever seen, I was so happy for you even though you seemed a little scared. I knew you would make a wonderful mom, and I knew you would make a beautiful baby, which you did, I saw him and he is gorgeous! I am sorry that I didn't get to see you as a mom, I'm sure you are still here though and you will be watching over your son's shoulder. You can come say hi to me anytime, in a dream or in a thought, I would love to feel one of those big hugs again. I am so glad that you came into my life, thank you for being you.

I was so sad when I heard about Giana's passing. I worked at Dillards with Giana and she was my favorite! I remember how she could always make me laugh and smile. I saw her a few days before her loss and she was so sweet and nice. She had a glow about her and I could tell she was the happiest she had been in a long time. I am grateful for Giana's friendship to me and I will never forget her! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Keegan Johnson

Im so glad i was able to be friends with Giana through high school. I remember when Giana first started cutting hair in her basement she cut my hair for credit at school. She was always so nice and made you feel good about yourself. I will miss her bright smile and amazing attitude. Its nice to know that as she looks down on us she can really see how many people love her and will miss her. Thank you for being you Giana and for being my friend i will never forget you.

Dear Nourse Family and little Levyn,
I am so sorry for your loss! Giana was such a sweet gril. I only got to know her for what seems a very short time. Giana left us way to soon. I was thankful that I did get to share the time with her that I did. She shared with me 2 of the most important days in my life with me and was very supportative. I wish things could have been different and she would come over to the house like old times and be just one of the family members. We all loved Giana! She always knew how to bring out the best in people. Her smile was very contagious. I will miss that. You will be greatly missed by all that knew you! I love you G! Keep watch on all of us. We all need an angel like you!

Kyle Reynolds

I'm Not ok.
My life is running.
The sky is gray.
My heart is breaking.
I feel so scared...
It's so unfair...

I'm Not ok.

She was so young.
Why did she go?
We'll miss her lots.
We loved her so.
It's so unfair.
Does God even care?

I'm Not ok.

Please go away.
Please don't stare,
pretend to care.
I don't want to hear it,
I just want to scream.
Please wake me up from this horrible dream.
I know she's ok.
I know she'll come home.
Please wake me up...
I don't want to know...
I just want to sleep,
let my life slip away.
I can't believe she's gone.

I'm not ok

To Giana and all who truly knew her:
April 15th was my father's birthday, the 25th anniversary of my beloved Darrell's death, and sadly the day that Morgan's friend, Giana Nourse, was found dead. Many of you met Giana years ago at my townhouse where she and her mother, Jan, were neighbors. We met Giana and Jan 14 years ago, Giana was 8 and Morgan was 10. Giana spent a great deal of time with us in our home as well as travelling. Giana was with us at our home in Myrtle Beach 10 years ago in July, on vacation , when we learned that her mother had been life-flighted to the University hospital and was not expected to live. I put Giana on the next flight back to SLC, but unfortunately Jan had passed before Giana made it home.

We received a call from Stephanie Kappos, another dear friend of Giana and Morgan (Morgan is Stephanie's son's Godmother) yesterday telling us that Giana had been found dead late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.
We last saw Giana a few months ago when she and her adorable son spent the weekend with us. She looked beautiful, but extremely thin, and we were worried. She was not doing well. We had long talks with her that weekend. She has never recovered from her mother's untimely death (Jan died at the age of 38, I believe).

We will miss Giana. We loved her "spunk". I spoke to my Aunt Kat last night to tell her the news as Giana had spent 2 months in total at Kat's house in Myrtle Beach with us over the years. Aunt Kat expressed her feeling that Giana is over the pain, and at peace now. I do believe that is true. The obituary speaks of "lemons". Giana used to eat lemons, lots of them,plain lemons, the entire lemon, we've seen her do it many times at our home and in Myrtle Beach. She also put cool whip on everything, just like our Grandma Emiline did. When I remember Giana, I will remember that crazy, wired kid, and beautiful young woman, and I will try to remember that when life gives us lemons........we should try to make lemonade.

We love you Giana, Go to sleep little baby, go to sleep little baby.....Your momma's waiting

Tom & Katie Winn (Janet's parents)

April 19, 2007

TO ALL WHO LOVED GIANA,...Our hearts are filled with sympathy for all of you. Giana is a very special lady. May the memories of her make a difference in all the lives and all the hearts of the people she touched, and may they bring you comfort at this difficult time.

Ryan Warner

April 19, 2007

Giana,
After seeing your viewing tonight i cant stop thinging about all the times we sat and talked all threw the night back in high school, you were so so fun to be around, your little boy Levin is the cutest kid ever, he will remember what a good mom you were, he will miss the fact that you were not around more, in fact we all will, everyone you incountered will miss you and your big smile, Giana help us all to stay strong and to realise that you are ok, you are loved and cared for by many
Love Ryan Warner

We would like to extend our sympathies to the family of Giana. We all knew her or her family in several ways. I taught her at Viewmont and adored her.

Dear Dick and Debi,

We were truly saddened to read about the tragic loss of your daughter Giana. We remember meeting her only once in Oakley Utah while you were attending the Rodeo in 1989. Although she was young, she was full of energy running back and forth on the bleachers. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended family at this sorrowful time.

Giana,
I'm still shocked over this news. We have shared so many memories together. You're a doll! I, as well as my mom couldn't get enough of you. You were full of so much energy and had such a magnetic personality! You've always been an extremely beautiful person. May God be with you and your family during this tragic loss. We love you and miss you dearly. xoxo

I was completely shocked when I opened the newspaper and saw Giana's face staring back at me. I knew Giana from Bountiful Jr. I'll never forget the impact she had on my life and I know she impacted others as well. She has an AMAZING spirit that will stay here forever. Your family and Giana's sweet Levyn will always be in my prayers.

Jean Foulks

April 19, 2007

Dear Little Giana,
I have kept you in my heart since you lived next door at Countryside Condo's with your Mom, Jan. I will never forget your big, sad eyes looking up at me from my back door. You were always so surprised and grateful for any small kindness. You were such a sweet spirited, beautiful little girl.
I loved having you around, the sleepovers with my granddaughter in the summer and have always cherished the time we spent together baking cookies or just doing chores. You were such a joy.
God speed, my sweet, innocent little friend. Hope your new place in heaven brings you the happiness you deserve.

I read this obituary and put things together since I have not seen Dick on Channel 5, he is never gone. When I first saw this obituary all I thought was how beautiful this girl was. I then read further and it was all put into perspective, how my heart aches for your family and for her little boy. I have loved watching Dick Nourse and really enjoy him I am sorry for your loss. May you be guided through this hard time, no words can ever express the pain of the loss of a child.
My prayers and thought are with your family at this time.

Giana, it's so hard to believe. I always loved when you'd come over with my brother. You're smile and personality were so sweet. You were so nice to us and very fun to be around. You will be missed much. My prayers will be with little Levyn. Hehe, he does have cute cheeks. <3

April 19, 2007

wow, giana I gusses this is where I say goodbye. Seems so unreal. we had a lot of great times at Dillards, like going to the food court and laughing and spending way to long to get back to work, whatever a tardie for lunch in late was worth it when it was with giana. for the couple years that we were friends I knew that you had alot of ups and downs, but no matter what was bothering you whenever any one would mention your "baby boy" your face would get that cute little loving mom smile and Little man would put things into prospective.
To the family and friends, rough times are ahead of you all. take comfort in the outpouring of love amd prayers meant to help you find a little solice. Its important to take care of eachother. Take care of that beutiful little boy and tell him what an amazing mother he had,and that she loved him with all her heart and soul.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
God Bless

Giana and Family:
Remembering the lunch lines at Bountiful Junior high and the cockatiels at Bird World.. so many memories. We didn't really get to know each other that well but we knew of each other and that is why I teared up when I was sent this obituary.

Nourse Family,
My mother called me this morning and told me that she read about sweet Giana in the newspaper. I worked with her at Dillards. I knew from the moment that I met her in orientation that she was amazing! I only knew her for a short time, but I adored her. She was constantly making everyone laugh and her smile could light up the darkest room. I know that she will be missed by many people. Your family and sweet little Levyn will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless.

Dear Nourse and Arnett Families,
My heart goes out to both your families at this trying time. I knew Giana in high school and always ran into her at Hard Rock Cafe. She had such a vibrant personality, and I could tell she was the kind of person everyone wanted to be around. May God bless you and bring you comfort in knowing you will see her again.

Dick, Though we don't know you personally or your family, we feel we do because we watch you every night. At this time we can only offer our sincere sympathy and cry with you in the loss of your sweet daughter. We can only imagine such a loss. We appreciate the time you took out of your busy life to drive to Nephi years ago and lead a parade to the High School and open the dance revue of the students of Lisa Blackett who donated the proceeds of the dance revue to the American Cancer Society in honor of our mom who had gone through breast cancer surgery. We have never forgotten the spirit you brought with you and shared with all who were there. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. We know you'll see your daughter again and we pray you'll all be blessed with peace and understanding at this time of sorrow and loss.
Sincerely

You guys look so cute together. We had lots of fun trick-or-treating this night. We got lots of candy. I love Levyns lion costume. It looks really cute on him. We wont forget you. Love Chloe

Giana, you always saved us from having to do alot of busywork in school because you knew just how to push all of the teachers' buttons and keep them on their toes! You were so funny and I always respected your outspoken honesty. I'm so sorry it had to end so soon.

Giana, I will miss your smile. When ever we were with eachother we always made each other laugh. I loved watching the disaster of a mess you would make when you ate. You were such a stong beautiful women. I remember the conversations we had about you wanting to be better at everything you did, and always asking me advice. But the truth was I always looked up to you and your unbreakable spirit. I miss you like crazy. I can't belive your gone.I hope you can still see me and laugh at all the dorky things I do. I love you-Andi

Giana,
While you have left us too soon, you have left behind a lot of great memories! Even though we hadn't been in touch the last few years, whenever I ran into you I still felt the same bond that we shared when we were those 2 goofy Jr. High girls running around the neighborhood! You will be missed! To your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dick and Debbie,
We have never met but my heart goes out to both of you for many reasons that I can't explain. I am the daughter and grand daughter of Robyn Bronson and Violet Payne. Though I have never met Giana either, the photograph said everything about her to me. She was beautiful inside and out and I can't express enough sorrowful condolences. I believe Giana and I had much in common and I wish I could have met her. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I am so sorry.

Giana
You will always be that beautiful, energetic sweet girl that I worked with at Hard Rock! I remember seeing you in the hospital after you had Levyn and the big smile you had written all over you! You will forever be my dear friend and someone I could always talk to. You taught me a lot about life and how to make everyone in your life feel the love that you have for them everyday. You will be in my thoughts always and I will always cherish the love you had for me and Cameron. I love you Giana, I always will babygirl!

Could this be the beautiful little girl I took to get a treat when you were in the hospital. How I would love to have seen her all grown up. Dick we worked together so long ago - but I still consider you one of my great friends. Remember when you came to my 40th B-Day party and the crowd stood still as you entered ...you had to say go on with the party. Lisa, Heidi, Ray and I will never forget you and the great times we had in Sun Valley.
I can't even imagine what you are going through loosing your beloved Giana who was so beautiful. We send love and light to you and your family and know that we will always love you.
