Gabrielle Vaillancourt

Thank you for sharing your memories of my beautiful sister. Her laughter is heard and her ashes are placed next to our mother in Elm
Lawn cemetery in Buffalo NY. The cemetery is just off Delaware avenue and you will find them adjacent to our Grandparents Anastasia and Thomas Drapanas in the Hellenic section of the cemetery. Shining bright in our hearts now and forever.

You are missed always.

Gabrielle's story saddens my heart and her life was too short. We played basketball together in Highschool, did home work together and always had a good time. She was so smart and I always looked up to her! Gabrielle, you are missed.
With all my heart, Cate

My condolences. May the wonderful memories of her sustain you until God's promises are fulfilled.
John 6:40

Gabrielle was very special. I knew her when we were much younger in life, but I am so sad to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace and her special presence always guide us.

From Bassui Tokusho (Rinzai Zen Master circa 1327–1387) to one of his disciples who was dying.

"The essence of your mind is not born, so it will never die. It is not an existence, which is perishable. It is not an emptiness, which is a mere void. It has neither color nor form. It enjoys no pleasures and suffers no pains. Your end which is endless is as a snowflake dissolving in the pure air."

Gabby's love will go on and on, but we will miss her dearly.

Thoughts and prayers to Gabby's family and friends.

I used to work with Gabby years ago at Port Folio. She was a talented and beautiful young lady, and I am saddened to hear about her loss. My prayers to her family!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Gabby's family during this time. Rest in peace, Gabby!

My condolences for your tragic loss. My thoughts are with her family & friends.

A few years ago, during one of the hardest times on my life, gabby showed up at my door with a care package. Her caring and giving nature was such a gift to so many. I fondly remember long bike rides with her and our shopping trips. She will be missed. Love you gab.

I can hear that laugh like it was yesterday. To know Gabby was to know that laugh and it will live on in my heart and many others. Thanks Gabby, and prayers of comfort for your family.

Here is Gabby, with that infectious smile so many spoke about, among a handful of her girlfriends in celebration of her 40th Birthday. I am forever grateful I was part of that celebration and for all of the time she and I shared together. Gabby was a Beautiful lady, inside and out and she shared allot of her great wisdom with me. She will be terribly missed.... until we meet again.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with Gabby, her family, and friends!

All of you are a great comfort to us - Gabby was our dear and precious child whom we so miss and so want to hear that infectious laugh and get one of her huge hugs she so freely gave. Thank you-Jim & Mary Jo

I am so very sorry to hear about Gabby. I first met her the Wirth family and so enjoyed playing field hockey with her at Maury. I hope that she is at peace now. With love - - Meredith Johnson Gelman

Gabby had an infectious laugh and beautiful smile that lit up Charlottesville. She was a special part of those years. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

I first met Gabby in the halls of Blair. She wowed everyone in her flashdance legwarmers. At Maury her favorite afternoon snack was microwaved green beans in tomato sauce. At Uva and beyond, I have such great memories of her. I hope she is at peace now.

Everytime we saw each other we didn't say hi, we went straight to the mama jokes. She will be missed. God bless her and her entire family.

She was - Lovely. Prayers and peace to her family.

Our family is holding you up in our prayers tonight.

Gabby and I were fast friends after I transferred to Maury. Her beauty, charm and wit brought happiness to so many. Just last year we ran into each other at Wareings gym and reminisced. With love dear Gabby and may you find peace.

Sharing your sorrow and wishing you all peace!

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Vaillancourt,
She was such a delight and everyone loved being around her. We are so very sad and sorry for your sadness.
Mary Jo Thompson

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family and friends who knew and loved Gabby. I was honored to know her and loved her quick wit and sense of humor. Rest in peace.

May God bless Gabrielle's soul! My deepest sympathies to the famiy. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Offering Gabrielle's family and loved ones my deepest sympathy at this time. She was beloved by all who knew her.

Though it has been many years since I have seen Gabby, she was a close friend to me from 6th grade through high school. I have been flooded with memories of her from those years over the past couple of days. What I see is her beauty, what I hear is her laughter; what I remember is her high intelligence, her athleticism, and how much fun we had in those years.
May she now know peace.
I send my very deep sympathy to her family; I remember you all.
With love, Kelleigh (Wright) McMillan

Gabby, was a wonderful friend to all of us, and we share your sorrow and grief. Dale Berning

May you find peace and comfort in the memories you shared.

Sending deepest sympathy for the family and rejoicing that sweet Gabrielle's soul
is free. Betty Furr, Norfolk, Virginia

So very sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort in the memories you shared.

Gabby, You walked with me through a difficult time in my life, and brought light to a dark place. You will forever be cherished and missed. I love you girl. I am returning this light to you as a candle to guide your way as you find peace, joy and love in the arms of God.

Gabby was a special Child of God. Mary Jo and I will always give thanks to God for her incredible friendship with our daughter Lucy. She was a light in a dark storm, her smile, laughter and grace made a room become as bright as the sun. My family will treasure the surprise birthday that Lucy gave her at our home in Virginia Beach. May her soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace.

May you find strength in the memories you cherish and the in the support of others at this difficult time. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Wishing your family peace in a time of loss...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
