Anna C. Giles

I remember arriving to work one day to find my office occupied by a girl I´d never seen before... she introduced herself as my new coworker, and after exchanging pleasantries I politely let her know that this was, in fact, my office. She laughed and somehow suddenly it became OUR office. She´d even organized the drawers and everything. She was so funny and charming there was simply no saying "no" to her. She and I and her then-boyfriend ended up hanging out a lot together, and when I got my puppy, Akira, their home became her favorite place to visit and play. Anna was absolutely beautiful inside and out- a wild and free spirit, silly and charming and adventurous... I will always treasure my memories of her. I had been hoping for some time now that she´d find a way to visit me in California again, but it looks like one day I´ll have to visit her instead. Until then, rest easy Anna. You are very loved.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I don´t know the e family, just happened upon this obituary and had to send condolences. One of the best written accounts of a young life. I feel like I knew her briefly. Having lost my 28 year old sister this year, I understand the loss coming much too soon. May the world be kind to you and your family.
