I'm so sorry to see that she lost her battle. I had the pleasure of getting to know her for many years doing her hair. She had been a fighter for most of her life with all of the ailments that she had but she didn't let them get her down. She even turned some of her frustrations into learning experiences. Sending condolences to Jeff and her family.
IN MEMORY OF MY NIECE GABY
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO GIVE MY CONDOLENCES TO MY SISTER CARMEN, MY BROTHER IN LAW JESUS, MY NIECE ALEX AND TO JEFF WHO I HAVE NOT MET BUT GOT TO KNOW THROUGH MY SISTER.
THE MEMORIES THAT WE ALL HAVE OF GABY ARE RICH BECAUSE SHE TOUCHED EACH OF OUR LIVES IN A UNIQUE WAY.
ON MY PART, I WITNESSED MY SISTER SUFFERING AND SENSE OF HELPLESSNESS OVER GABY’S CONGENITAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. GABY, ON THE OTHER HAND, USED TO OVERCAME HER PAIN BY GIVING LOVE TO PEOPLE WITH DIFFICULT AILMENTS.
WHEN MY MOTHER’S HEALTH DECLINED, AND BECAME BOUND TO A WHEELCHAIR, AND WASN’T ABLE TO GO OUT MUCH ANYMORE, GABY USED TO BUY HER THINGS THAT SHE KNEW MY MOTHER LIKED JUST TO BRING A LITTLE HAPPINESS TO HER LIFE. I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO GABY FOR MAKING THE EFFORT TO BE WITH MY MOTHER DURING THOSE DIFFICULT DAYS.
ONCE MY MOTHER PASSED, GABY CARRIED HER MEMORY IN HER DIA DE LOS MUERTOS PARTY. SHE USED TO MAKE A BIG ALTAR FOR MY MOTHER IN HER LIVING ROOM, SURROUNDING THE PICTURE OF MY MOTHER WITH FLOWERS AND CANDLES.
IRONICALLY, GABY’S DIA DE LOS MUERTOS PARTY WAS A CELEBRATION OF LIFE. ON THIS SPECIAL DAY GABY SURROUNDED HERSELF WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AS IF SHE WANTED TO MOCK DEATH OR DEFY ITS EXISTENCE. I THINK SHE WAS RIGHT. GABY MAY NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL BODY ANYMORE BUT SHE WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE IN OUR MEMORIES.
Dear Carmen and Jesus and Alejandra, we are deeply saddened at the passing of beautiful Gaby. Sending you love and prayers, Patty and Paul Silvernail
