I remember Gabriella especially every time I pass her street. She was a very resilent person. I took lesson from her everyday life ( she taught very much by example, also).

I have known Gabriella for a very short time (given her age) but delighted to see her. I was very saddened by her death and admired her strength and resilence. Rest in peace.

Mr. And Mrs. Garrity lived in the same neighborhood where i.grew up. I became their letter carrier and would often chat with both of them. We had a special friendship during that time. Such a pleasure to have known them. They were so kind and giving. They are both united and in the arms of Our Lord. May they rest in peace.
God bless their family with wonderful memories.
