I so miss Gabe. He would come in class in the morning, I would say "Gabe I'm missing something" he would come running over to me with a big smile and say "your missing my hug" He was such a loving child with a heart of gold. Only thing he wanted was for people to be happy. How could you not be happy around him. He has touched so many people over his very short life. We should all learn a lesson from him....to make others happy. May God bless you and you your family. Love you Gabe!

I am going to miss you Little Man. I can still hear you say, "I got five girlfirends", and can imagine you collecting girlfriends in heaven. I know you are telling Jesus to excuse you since you said it so much down here. Heaven is just a little brighter since you arrived.

I am so thankful to God for lending Gabe to us for seven years. Gabe spent his life giving us lessons to live by, his generosity and kindness, love, care and compassion is an example for each of us to live by. I will miss you little man, but I know you are in a better place. You will always be God's little angel in my heart.

I have subbed for many years in Seaside and last year I worked for many weeks in his class. He always had a terrific smile and personality. He would say hi to everyone in the school. This year I have been working in Kindergarten and Gabe's class would join our class for recess. Once he saw you in the playground he would run over and ask me how I was and why I was not in class. I will truly miss him. I know he is a special angel in heaven.
