    I did not know Gabe, but I am so sorry to hear of such a tragic thing; may the good lord above give this child’s family, friends and loved ones, the strength to get through this tragic loss. God Bless… ♥

    When you’re old as I am, how many of us would trade places with Gabe and never look back? I would be the first. Its tough when it should be us and not children.

    I saw where there was a crowd having a car wash fundraiser for Gabe’s family yesterday. I was in a huge rush for a scheduled appointment, but was glad to see cars lined up to help out (even a big semi truck!)
