Gabrielle...

[ABSTRUSE]

has left us.

She fought very hard to stay with us but it was time to go. She was a gift we couldn't keep.
She went and joined the other little pixy angels around 4:30 UK time this morning.
There are no words to express what has happened other than bittersweet.
She was in her mother's arms when she left us. Comforted and safe when she felt her mother's touch.

For such a tiny girl she got a whole world of people to send her love and light candles and hold her in their hearts.


I know Vana would thank you all from the bottom of her heart for the outpouring of love you've given her and Gabrielle. Your words and pictures, emails and gifts have brought her trememdous joy and she is in awe of your beauty. She could not express how touched she was by her family here at Lit.

Though we only had Gabrielle for a short time, she gave us hope, showed us love and touched us all, sight unseen. She made us remember how precious and good life can be and that there is no strenght without struggle.

I hold you in my heart always, our precious little girl.
I love you.

Hugging everyone involved for a very long time and not saying a word

*hugs to you and vana and fem*

Sorry seems to be such an inadequate word, but I am. I'm sorry you have to go through this pain, the pain of losing such a precious gift.

But she was an inspiration, she was a wonderful gift to us whilst she was here and I will always remembe the little fighter. She's somewhere away from pain, away from upset and tears. she's somewhere now where she can rest and just be -she doesn't hae to fight any more. There's another Angel in Heaven, Gabrielle is her name

I wish I knew her. Even though I did not, I feel your loss and your affection for her.

Having lost my wife, I know how it can be to feel that void. My thoughts are with you all, her friends.

Amen and Godspeed.

Such precious gifts are ment to be savored. Rest, Vana. Know that you are loved. Even by such humble strangers as I.

I am so very sorry that she is gone, there are no words. Goodbye, baby Gabrielle.

Its not goodbye my little angel, you will find me again because I have known you before, just like I have known your mother through all of time.

I love you Gabrielle.

I'm very sorry. I wish there was more to say, but I know my words are inadequate. She touched all of us and showed that the AH really can be a home full of loving people.

Please convey our deepest sympathy, condolences and love to Vana and Sam and everyone in the circle who surrounded and cared for Gabrielle. Most of all, please let Vana know that no thanks or words from her are required. We thank her for allowing us into her life and letting us be a part of this. However briefly, she allowed us to all be godparents to her daughter, and for that we owe her, not the other way around.

Please keep us informed on how everyone is doing. If there is anything any of us can do to help ease this painful time for any of you, let us know. Most of us can only offer words or prayers, but I'm sure those of us who live near you, and can offer genuine hugs and helping hands, would be willing to do so for all of us.

From an email dialog yesterday afternoon/evening:

Every time I think " this is it"

That reaction has never gone away for me. It has, however, become far less frequent.

Each time I have the "this is it" feeling, I remind myself that even if ****** left us, he has already had more impact, more influence, than most people achieve in decades. That's no small feat.

The same is true for Gabrielle.

So fall into sleep
Peaceful and deep
And may this journey help you fly
When you can't hold out much longer
Don't you cry
When the darkness is getting stronger

Sleep like a child
Peaceful and deep
And when you lay you down
I pray your soul to keep
(Joss Stone)

 

[McKenna]

I am so sorry.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Fly high, Gabrielle

Oh, God. I didn't know until I saw this. I'm so sorry.

I have no words.

As pointless to measure a life
in hours as it is in years
only one measure has meaning;
did you touch the lives of others?

You may be gone
little Gabrielle
but you shall never leave...

Preparations have been made according to Jewish custom, she will be laid to rest today.
Vana will be allowed to attend.

Hoping she feels our arms wrapped around her.
