A yellow rose represents friendship, joy and caring.
They were Gia’s favorite flower.
Yellow roses can also convey warmth, delight, gladness and affection, as well as say good luck, welcome back, and remember me.

Gia met Rob at Eagleville Hospital in 1985. Rob was there for Gia until the very end. He endured the heartbreak of watching his good friend pass away in the most horrendous way. AIDS devoured it’s victims, and it takes a strong person to be there, and not run away from it. God bless you Rob.
Joe Petrellis was Gia’s first photographer and good friend.
Joe shot Gia’s first test shots when she was 14 years old in Philadelphia. They stayed in touch even after she left for New York. When Gia left New York for the last time, Joe was still there for her. Joe visited Gia in the hospital up until the day Kathleen stopped allowing visitors. God bless you Joe.
Suzanne R. was a friend who stayed in touch with Gia from the moment they met as teens in Philadelphia until the day she passed. Suzanne visited Gia in the hospital until Kathleen stopped allowing visitors. I will not share Suzanne’s photo or last name out of respect for her privacy. God bless you Suzanne.
