Carol Kind and Near




Ahhh! The Giles family! We love you guys! What a treat for our family to have Mike, Carol, Brooke, Ashley, and Max stop for a night in Minnesota on their way to Utah! When we pulled into Cliffside Commons six years ago in our little sagging Honda Accord, having traveled all the way from Seattle to Boston, Mike Giles was the first person we met. Having seen our liscense plates from Idaho, he came to help us move in and introduce his family to ours. They lived on the same apartment hall as us, about four doors down. They gave us a mattress to sleep on, dinner to eat, and extended a hand of friendship that will last forever. Once when we were supposed to have dinner guests and forgot(we were out shopping), the Giles invited our guests to their home for dinner and insisted that we join them as well! When Kinzi was learning to sing "I am a Child of God", she would sing..."has given me an earthly home, with Carol Kind and Near"! We have been richly blessed with good friends near and far. Friends forever!
