Her father, Dan Gieske, expressed how absolutely saddened and grieved the family is over the loss of his daughter. He added that she was a shining example that was cherished by everyone. “We beg for your prayers, but we also ask that you respect our privacy,” the statement continued.
The fact that Anne was able to pass away in a condition of sanctifying grace was the final gift she gave to us. We are confident that we shall see her again in the kingdom that God is building.” Officials from Beechwood School District expressed their sympathies to the Gieske family in a statement on the district’s Facebook page. They also mentioned that counselors will be accessible to staff members and students on Monday.
