All of the Hendricksons, Paul, Ceil Matt and John, send our love and prayers. It was our good fortune to have shared many happy and warm Holy Trinity memories with Gabby, while watching our sons play basketball as HT students. Ceil had the added joy of being welcomed by Gabby, several times, as an over-night guest to your home. Gabby's unique sense of others will be missed, and never forgotten.
