Gabby, a sweet young soul gone too soon. Rest in peace, you have earned your wings. Godspeed as you fly high and shine bright. You will not be forgotten by those whose lives you touched and who love you.
I taught at Valley Hi and had Zach and Gabby. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God wrap his arms around you during this difficult time. I will always remember her beautiful smile. She will always live on with her beautiful spirit and presence she had about her. Sincere condolences, Leslie Hernandez 5th grade teacher Valley Hi Elementary 2014
She was the fiRst one to welcome me at school when I was new.
When I was in 6th grade and Gabby was in 8th, we were in a school musical together. It was called into the woods. During that time we got close. She was a good friend of mine. She had a beautiful heart and she was so goofy,and kind. But she could also stand up for those she cared about and herself. We lost touch up until I came back to canyon this school year. I’d see her and we’d always smile and say hey to each other in the hallway. I wish I would’ve done more to keep in touch with her. But the time I was able to spend with her, was never times I regret. My condolences to her family. It’s months later but a loss is a loss. I STILL think about her every day.
To my bestfriend. My heart is desperately hurting at the thought of this. There was never a day I didn’t wonder where you were in life. I thought you moving was the worse thing but knowing you and I never got to see each other and do all the things we promised, makes my heart cry. I love you with my whole heart. I love your family. I miss you. We were really a kick butt duo back in elementary & no one could tell us anything. You’re such a beautiful spirit. I’m glad we got to talk some last year. I love you forever.
thinking about you everyday, my bestfriend <3
Happy birthday my little guardian angel 💛
I did my university thesis in your honor. Thank you for your friendship
Still have the jewellery you gifted me <3
