  1. Bless you Gisele! May you find the strength from your family and the whole world standing behind you to face these evil monsters! May you find the peace and justice you deserve! ❤

  2. She exudes dignity, elegance and grace. Giselle, you are an inspiration to all women everywhere. May you find happiness, freedom and love again.
