Uh . . . thanks?

Over the weekend, a young woman, an aspiring actress and model, was murdered in her apartment in Santa Monica, California. As usual for this kind of crime, it's a sad story of a promising life cut short. Among the details of her life, the paper included that she had a Yorkshire terrier named GiGi.

I don't mean to make light of any of this, but to demonstrate how awkward people can be in these types of situations and how people just don't know what to say, here are the comments from her neighbor.

"She was a very lovely, young girl, and the dog was as lovely as she was," a neighbor, Tom Baxter, 59, told the newspaper.

Yeah.

Uh, Tom? You probably should have stopped after the word "girl".
