I was deeply saddened when I heard of Gabriel's passing. My heart goes out to the Enriquez family, especially Gabriels children. Gabriel will be greatly missed. Every anniversary or birthday my brother had I knew I could count on Gabriel to be there at the cemetary so we could laugh and talk about the good times we all shared with our brother Chris! I knew how much Gabriel loved and missed him and they are now in heaven together. So young and gone so soon!
