Hello my sweet dear friend Angela, you dedicated your life every day for the last 3 1/2 years to Gabriel & were such a great mom and supporter of Dravet Syndrome! Be proud of your accomplishments! No words can express your loss or what you are going through, time will heal, you are such a brave woman and just remember your sweet smiling Gabriel is looking down on all of us playing in the clouds! :)

Words cannot express how deeply I feel for all of you. Gabriel was pure innocence and joy on this earth. He brought happiness to so many of us and will always be a part of my heart. It is not the short years he lived but the rich fulfilling way both he and his mommy embraced each and every day with such love and enthusiasm, what a well-lived life here among us. My heart and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. He will be truly missed, he was a blessing to everyone he touched with his beautiful angel eyes and sweet smile. Love to all of you.....

So sorry for your loss. Every child is an angel, and this angel was needed back at home. I've never met you, but have a child that attends Penn Forest.
