Gabbie's Heart
Gabbie's heart was extra large for medical reasons, but really, we know her heart was so big because of all the goodness it held.
​
GENEROUS: She was always wanting to give - whether a tangible gift or the gift of her presence.
​
GRATEFUL: No one was faster at sending a thank you note for a gift received or a kindness spoken than Gabbie. She kept a gratitude journal, making sure to list at least one thing at the end of each day she could be grateful for.
​​
EMPATHETIC: Gabbie was the first to enter into the sufferings of another and to carry the cross with them by her love, her presence, and her prayers.
​​
FAITHFUL: Gabbie's faith was the fuel for her heart and the anchor of her life.​
