My heart and prayers go out to all of Gabe´s family and friends. We all lost a fabulous co-worker and friend at DHS. Gabe was one of the hardest workers at DHS South Suburban. Dedicated to ensuring every case he touched was correct. Gabe was a perfectionist at work, I remember time after time Gabe researching policy to be sure to give every customer every benefit they applied for an accurate processing before certifying their case. He is already missed terribly. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. My continued prayers go out to each of you. I truly feel your pain. Miss you so much buddy!
