I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing Gabrielle. My memories of you are still so clear. I looked at my photos of when I left NZ and you and I together at my going away dinner. Your zest for life and sense of fun shines through. I am sad that this has gone for you.. I worked with you, learnt from you and loved your sense of humour. Your children are your legacy .. Goodbye my friend..

Gabriele, you will be missed. I hope you have now found peace. It was a pleasure to have worked along side you. A consummate nurse, dedicated to her patients.

Will always remember how proud you were of your children, Julian whom you described as such neat boy, a loving and patient brother, and Emma the other light and joy of your life.
I hope they find some comfort in the memories :
For Julian &Emma

"Ease your grief, she is not gone,
For in your heart she lingers on,
Her smile, her laugh, her special way
Will comfort you from day to day.

...You'll feel her presence in the breeze,
That dances gently through the trees,
And its her face that you shall see,
When you're in need of company.

At any time you can recall,
The love you shared... you saved it all,
And in time, more than anything,
You'll find peace in remembering."
