i first met gabby in 2017 when i switched to a new soccer club. my new team nerves were soon eased by gabby, my first friend on the team. she always went out of her way to make sure i felt included. i will always remember the many days i spent at the Sipe´s house and how we used to hangout for hours on end yet not become bored of each other. though i became more distant from gabby in our later middle school years, it always felt like no time had past when i would see her. just this past december we had shopped for christmas gifts and baked cookies. she carefully thought out each gift which goes to show how much she cared for others. gabby was the kindest soul i have ever gotten the chance to meet. not to mention she has always been an outstanding and determined soccer player. though i heard of gabby´s passing late, my heart goes out to the Sipes. you are all in me and my mom´s prayers.

I will remember how Gabby was always able to immediately cheer me up by her contagious laugh and witty jokes at soccer practice, no matter what kind of day I was having. I will always remember our fun juggling circles before warmups. I will always remember being in awe of how athletic and talented Gabby was at soccer. I will always remember how resilient Gabby was. I will always remember accidentally calling her Izzy on the field...I eventually got it. I will always remember meeting her for the first time and realizing that I just had to be friends with her because of how much she made me happy as a person. I will always remember how passionate she was about the game of soccer. I will always remember just how hard she worked at each and every practice and game. I will also always remember all of the fun experiences we had running through the halls of the odd soccer hotels. Gabby was a special person and never failed to brighten and positively impact those around her. I miss you Gabby

I grew close to Gabby and Izzy back in 9th grade. Gabby was always looking out for everyone as well as being literally the funniest person I knew. Even on your worst days, Gabby was able to make you smile so much that your face hurt and laugh so hard your stomach felt like it would cramp up. One of my favorite memories of Gabby was when Gabby, Lindsay, and I went to Golden Lake Park together during spring break. We laughed and messed around the playground. Gabby also had such a contagious laugh! I love you Gabby, and I´ll miss you forever

My friendship with Julia and the countless hours we spent skating, carpooling, and having sleepovers together made the Sipe family feel like my second family. I fondly remember Gabby and Izzy often chasing us around the house, wanting to join us. Watching Gabby grow and mature over the years was a privilege, and I still can't believe how much she transformed before my eyes. Gabby's vibrant spirit and the memories I have of her will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the Sipe family during this difficult time.

Gabby was always willing to help. I haven´t talked to her as much as I wished to in the past year, but whenever I talked to her I knew that we could always find something fun to talk about. She was always kind and I could tell that she worked hard at everything she did. I know that even though we weren´t close, she left an impact on me and that she will be missed by me and by so many other people. I hope that she has found peace, and that her family knows how loved she is and that they are able to find support through this tragedy in the many people who care about them. Rest in peace, Gabby - my love and prayers go out to the Sipe family.

I loved that she always gave hugs. I love that she tried to make everyone laugh and was confident in herself. I love that she always texted to check in on me, ask how my day went, if she could help me feel less stressed or how my track meets went. I love that she gave me book recommendations. I love that she would sing along with me in the car even though neither of us were good singers. I loved how big her smile was. I loved that her laugh was infectious. I love that she was such a hard worker. I loved that when we watched movies she would talk just as much as me (especially when watching Twilight, her commentary was hilarious and made the movie so much better). I loved that she put personality into every single conversation, even if it was over text. I will always remember Gabby as one of my closest friends. Gabby, I know you and God are cracking jokes together and that makes me happy. I love you

One time, Gabby and I plus the rest of our bunch went to Walmart to grab cake mix. The others ran off so Gabby and I sprinted the opposite direction to the book aisle. We pretended we were spies and shuffled between aisles (we weren´t very sneaky because we kept laughing). I loved being around her because everything was brighter (even Walmart). Though, what really stuck out to me was what she did before we left the store. Gabby had ran off on her own and when she came back she had a big squishmallow with her. She told me it was for me (I had been sad recently) and was meant to cheer me up and remind me that she was always there for me. It made me cry a little and I gave her a massive hug. Gabby was extremely thoughtful and always looking out for others. I love her dearly and will keep Alberto (the squishmallow) forever.

Gabby was hands down the funniest person I knew. I swear we were rarely serious together (but we were when it counted). She taught me to be lighthearted and roll with everything. She shared all her thoughts, even the odd ones, but that just made her more relatable. I will always, always, remember as one of the most genuine people ever. I hope to emulate her authenticity. Thank you Gabby for being one of my all time best friends. Love you forever

Me and Gabby had a gym class together in middle school and she was always the hardest working and so much fun to be around. Her kindness and bright energy radiated from her and she will be very missed.

In 2015, I moved to the centennial school district as a 1st grader. Gabi and Izzy were both on the kangaroo bus with me. I remember sitting with them and sometimes chatting. They both helped me feel so included. I especially remember gabi's smile. It shined. I haven't talked to her in nearly 10 years, but I will always remember her, and I will miss seeing her in the hallway.

The first vivid memory I have of Gabby and Izzy was during the high school soccer season. It was my first time ever playing varsity so I didn´t know the girls the way they all did, so I felt like I wasn´t supposed to be there. But one day after practice, there was the job to bring the soccer bags to the shed. This was a job for the younger girls to do so I said I´d do it. As I was grabbing the bags, Gabby and Izzy said that they would hold one of the bags to help me. As we walked from the stadium to the shed, they asked me about my grade and my favorite classes and vice versa. I went home so happy to have talked to such amazing and talented girls. I never told them but having them just talk to me for a little bit made me feel so happy and connected. And seeing Gabby and Izzy everyday for practice with smiles on their faces and hearing them say "hello" at the start of practice and "goodbye" at the end to me was by far my favorite parts of practice. It pains me to say that I wasn´t very close to either of them because I was always in such awe of them with their talent and their beautiful smiles. I miss Gabby and I´m praying for Izzy and her family. Rest in peace sweet girl.

Gabby was one of my friends, although we were not very close, which I regret. She was so positive and could light up a room just by being in it, and it was always so fun to talk to her. She was an amazing person and one of the most wonderful people I´ve ever met. My heart goes out to her family, I can´t begin to imagine how hard this must be. Rest in peace, Gabby.

I talked to your sister Izzy, we met in school talking about note apps that we could get, and I brought up how much I saw her in the hallway, how I felt like I saw her every passing time somehow and that´s when I learned you guys were sisters. That´s when I first learned you guys were twins, I learned this earlier in the year and especially now, I will never forget this memory, even if I never directly talked to you.
Lots of love for you and your family.

I´m not really close with her, I was just starting to. But from what I´ve seen so far, she was so nice and lovely. Always joking around and laughing. Every time when I sit with her and her friends, she was always lively and loved to make conversations. It was always fun when she was around. She loved making jokes and taking about her shows, her anime characters, fightclub (oh I´m sorry, not supposed to be talking about fight club cause "the #1 rule of fight club is to not talk about fight club"). I really enjoyed spending time with her and her friends. Don´t have much memories with her but the memories I have so far, I cherish and love all of them.

I am so sorry for your loss, she will be forever missed. She worked so hard and fought so hard at everything. She would always be laughing at practice and I would never see Izzy and her separated at anything, especially at soccer. Gabby was an amazing person and teammate. She was always kind and constantly joyful, she was shy at first but she had warmed up perfectly to the team. Rest easy sweet girl you will be missed.

We sat next to each other in advisory and every time she was there it was so much fun. Laughing, studying, and talking about sports (especially soccer). She was great person who was very sweet and always made my day better, putting a smile on my face even after I lost a couple family members. She will forever be missed. Rest east Gabby

Me and Gabby weren´t super close but I remember a couple years ago I went to their house and we made popcorn and me, her, and izzy all played soccer in the back yard just messing around. I will reminisce about those fun times every time I think of her and I will always remember her smile and how joyful and full of laughter she was. rest easy.

This was our last escapade with Gabby and the Sipe Family in 2019 when they last visited Philippines all together. This is unforgettable. I remember how Gabby convinced me to join them ride the banana boat because I'm scared to ride it. I remembered pulling her as she often goes out the boat and almost fall countless times but still enjoyed the entire ride. They even wanted to try parasailing but I said I wont try it anymore because it's too scary. I always remember Gabby to be happy, free spirited little girl, shy at first but talkative when you both get along and turned out to be very good in soccer along with Izzy!! Every time I see their photos in Instagram and Facebook, I always feel proud how the little twins whom I first met in 2011 became soccer stars in their soccer team. We will miss you Gabby! You'll always be in our hearts. You will always be Izzy's twin and your Mommy's little girl! To Ate Gold, Raymond, Julia and Izzy, we are all praying for you in this difficult time. May God's arms embrace you and heal your pain.

I got to play with Gabby for 2 years on our high school team. I have never met a more giddy person on and off the field. She always strived to work the hardest she possibly could no matter the circumstances. Her and Izzy never failed to make me and the team laugh with their personalities. I am forever grateful for the bond I created along with the time I shared with her, she will be missed.

I had the pleasure getting to know Gabby over the years through Julia. Today, I remember Gabby as a sweetheart, who was always giggling with her sister Izzy, sometimes with so much joy I could hear her upstairs during my basement hangouts with Julia in the sipe house. I remember her as someone who wasn´t afraid to try something new and pave her own way, a trait that I found admirable and inspiring. I loved hearing about her achievements (an absolute star) in soccer through Julia, or her social media, where I would pop in the comments to cheer her on. I had the opportunity to take her and Izzy to practice one time, which prompted a selfie of course, had me feeling like a big brother. I still remember the time clearly because I was so excited to get to drive them around. Love my little sisters. Gabby had a beautiful, sweet impact on everyone around her, and I feel so lucky that I can say that from firsthand experience getting to know her over the years. I am so proud of her and will miss her dearly.

My first memory and first time meeting Gabby was when my family and I visited Minnesota for the first time in 2013. Both Gabby and Izzy were very shy at first but it didn´t take too long for them to warm up to me. I remember Gabby was always trying to find ways to play with me around the house. I wish I had more chances to visit my baby cousins. I loved seeing Gabby flourish through her pictures on instagram. My deepest condolences to my cousins Julia and Izzy, to Uncle Raymond, and to Auntie Golden. May Gabby rest in peace.

I played club soccer with Gabby and was fortunate enough to be impacted by her joy for the game and the teammates around her. Gabby showed up to every game and practice with a smile on her face and an eagerness to work her hardest. Gabbys attitude did not go unnoticed and always inspired me. I throughly enjoyed playing with Gabby and giving her countless hugs after she scored or assisted the ball to her sister Izzy! Fly high Gabby! You made a lasting impact on so many around you!
