As a hospital employee I see a lot of things that can tear a heart down and build up emotion. But reading about the death of your daughter and watching the news on T.V. can make even the hardest heart break down. Your family is in my prayers as I know this is a very hard time for all of you. God is always there for you even when times are tough or we do not understand why he decrees certain things. Dont let this sway your faith but only make it stronger. God has something good waiting for you and your family because of the amount of trust and strength you have in his word. May God continue to bless you and your family and give you all the courage to be strong in this very emotional time. My heart goes out to you and your family…

I wanted to express my sympathy to your family. I got to know Gabrielle quite well while doing my internship at Jepson. She was a wonderful girl…her smile would light up the room and she was always a huge help when I subbed in her classroom. Especially extend my sympathy to Juliet. I worked in her classroom at Jepson the majority of year. I know she was very close to Gabrielle and that this must be very difficult for her. She is a sweet little girl and does not deserve to have to deal with this hardship at such a young age.

My dearest friends, you are in my thoughts during this time of sorrow that we certainly were not created to endure. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Gabrielle but I heard about her through my friend Beatriz Uribe from North Haven, CT. May Jehovah provide all the comfort and strength you need at this time. My most sincerest thoughts from your sister and friend, Jeanne Bautista
My heart goes out to you and your family during this very difficult time. You all are in our prayers. My heart aches!
My heart weeps for you, and our prayers are and will be with you. My name is Heidi Blake (nee Huyghue), and I went to Pioneer School with Angie way back in 1986. My sister told me yesterday that the little girl was a Witness so today I found the obituary and made the connection to your family. I cannot begin to describe the burning, bricklike sensation I feel inside. More than that, I cannot remotely even dare to imagine how your family feels, especially being a parent now myself. Please always remember Psalm 68:19, .Blessed be Jehovah, who daily carries the load for us, The [true] God of our salvation.. Gabrielle will be one of faces of resurrected children that we see in our beautiful publications. I look forward to meeting her there.
My thoughts and prayers are with Gabrielle and your family. May she sing with the Lord! Sincerely, The Magliocco Family Top Kat Super Laundromat
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family…may you be surrounded by love and comforted that she had a wonderful life in the time she was here with us. Heather Stocking American Cancer Society (Friend of her Aunt Angie Lee)
News of your hurt is being felt in the entire association of brothers and sisters. (1 Peter 5:9) May Jehovah put your tears in his wine skins and fondle your souls with his holy spirit. He will sustain you. When we see Gabrielle in the resurrection, we will tell her that she was another reason why we had to stay faithful. We just had to meet her. We love you.
No words or comfort can describe your loss. I known the pain can be at times unbearable. As each day go by, if you can reach deep down in your soul or stay above, you may find some comfort or just that little voice that will say Mommy/Daddy you can make it. Its hard, but I know its there just listen closely Jehovah will guide you. My Deepest Sympathy
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Our children are our most precious gift and we are sadden when one is taken away from us. I know that Gabrielle touched many hearts. With Love,
Please accept our most sincere condolences on the loss of your daughter. I didn’t know her personally, but being a parent myself, i realize this is a very difficult time for your family. May Jehovah comfort you during this difficult time; please try to maintain a spiritual routine, even though it will be difficult. We’ll keep you in our prayers.
so so sorry for your loss. Your family are continually in our thoughts and prayers
The Lee Family I was sorry to hear of Gabrielle’s passing. I didn’t know her personally,but she was an inspiration for the young ones in the congregation. May Jehovah continue to bless you and your family.
To Jeff, Martha, and all of Gabrielle’s wide family: Please recieve our deepest sympathy and know you are constantly in our prayers in this impossibly heartbreaking time. While I have never had the privilege of meeting any of your kids, Jeff and Martha, I have such strong memories of all the Lee kids when we were growing up, and what brilliant, caring, beautiful, funny, outgoing young spirits you all had. I can see that same disposition in Gabrielle’s picture and can imagine what a treasure she is and how desperately you will miss that light while she is gone. Please be assured of our continued prayers for your comfort. We know Jehovah and the love of your many dear ones will help you make it through this shocking time and the days that follow. Much affection across the miles and years.
To Jeff, Martha, Jeffery, Juliet and Alison You all don’t know me and have not met me in your life, but I’m friends with Sandy whom you went to Pioneer School and she told me about your precious little girl’s death. I’m so sorry to know of this, I know that this is something that you never expected, to see you little girl die before you. Just remember that we have the resurrection hope and that we will soon see her again and I hope that I get a chance to meet her, she sound like she was a bright little girl and I know you loved her dearly. My prayers and hugs go out to you and your family on this sad occasion. Keep Jehovah with you and always.

We know that she is enjoying the blessed presence of Jehovah. Joe and Andrea Depino (aunt and uncle of Nicole, Ivans wife and friend of Grandpa Carlos.
When I think of Gabrielle, I remember her smiling and laughing. She was a happy girl. It was very important to her to make everyone else happy by teaching them about Jehovah. She would ask me for all sorts of literature to share with her classmates, and she always had their specific needs and interests in mind. Although she had not yet been baptized, there is no question that hers was a life dedicated to Jehovah. We look forward to seeing her again when all is new and making new happy memories. Joel Johnstone & Elizabeth Green
You are in our prayers. May you find comfort in our Lord. She was a beautiful girl.
Your wait won’t be long until you hold your precious one again. You should know what a fine witness your family has given for our Great God, Jehovah. Gabrielle got more than 800 people to the kingdom hall! Because of our young sister, maybe many more will get to know Jehovah! Thanks for sharing her memorial with us and we will pray for your peace of mind. May Jehovah bless your efforts to stay strong! Agape – Jenn Allen
I remember her like yesterday and I hope that one day we will all remember her with a smile rather than a tear. She was like a sister to me rather than a best friend but I still cant imagine how hard it is on the family. I wish you all the best and you will all be in my prayers.
