You and Gabe are in our prayers. I don't know if you remember me from our Alpha Med days together. Gabe was a wonderful person who enjoyed life and loved you dearly.



God Bless you in this time of need,

It is so unfair to see another of my cousins go before their time; but I guess only God knows when our time here on earth is complete. I ache for your mom and dad, now losing three of you. The only Christmas I spent away from home as a child was spent with your family. I have only fond memories of you. Vaya con Dios, Primo.
