I just found out that my Uncle Gabriel had passed. I have fond memories of my Uncle. He was always there for us kids. I loved when I would go over and stay the night and he would take all of us kids to Dairy Queen and many times we had the whole ice crème store to our selfs and he would play “The Monster Mash” and us kids would dance and laugh”. He always made sure us kids were never went hungry. Thank you for being an awesome Uncle to me. I love you. May you rest in peace and enjoy being reunited with your family up in Heaven. Say hi to my Tia Tina!! I love her !
