Oh my ! So sorry to hear of Gabe's passing. I hope her family will know how much she is missed by her OCF family. For me, this sad news is another reminder of how fleeting life is and how important is to always appreciate and enjoy each moment we have with those closest to us whether they are on the other side of the world or sitting right next to us. Rest in Peace, dear Gabe.

I've been a part of the OCF family since 2006, and it seems the past few months we have lost so many members of our family. Each loss reminds me how precious and short life is.

I recall many on-line discussions with Gabe - a kind and compassionate person. I also knew here via FB and enjoyed seeing pictures of her beautiful family and her feathered friends.

Rest in Peace Gabe! You will be missed!

Our friend Gabriele passed peacefully on 1/31/16 without pain after complications from a battle with a gastro-intestinal cancer called GIST. She was diagnosed with this several years after her bout with OC.

Here is a link to Gabes online memorial. If you would like read or add a note to her memory book.
