Gaby died on the 15th of July 2012. This is going to be two years ago tomorrow. I copied here a post I published two years ago as a celebration of her life. The pictures show a lot of her carers, friends and family. We all remember you, Gaby.
Give thanks to the
Lord, call on his
name; make known
among the nations
what he has done.
Sing to him, sing
praise to him; tell of
all his wonderful acts.
Psalm 105; 1-2

Dear Aunty Uta:
I am so sorry for your loss, but also happy that you appreciated and celebrated Gaby’s spirit both during and after her life. Lovely passage and photos. My heart goes out to you, friend.
Fondly,
Elizabeth
Thank you so much, dear Elizabeth. I very much appreciate your comment. Gaby’s photos fill out a great place in our hearts and memories.
Sincerely,
Aunty Uta
I thank all the carers for the outstanding care they’ve been giving Gaby over many years. I love you all!
I am sure you will always miss her and love her, and there is so much loss and sadness.
I admire you for your celebrating of Gaby’s life and to think of her life in positive ways.
Hi Elizabeth, yes in lots of ways Gaby made sure that we are always going to remember her. She has been very much a family person, even for all these years when she lived apart from her family. Over the years it became more and more apparent, how brave she actually was. Thinking back over her life now, her braveness is something that maybe we did sometimes not fully comprehend but took it somehow for granted. I think she deserves that we celebrate her life, for she showed us how to enjoy life, even when it means to have to overcome a lot of difficulties.
I’m sure July 15 is always a horrible day for you.
To be honest, Linda, last year July 15 did not stick as much in our minds. Maybe the memory of her is felt a bit more every year! 🙂
A beautiful celebration tribute to Gabys life Uta.
May her memory be a celebration of her life every day for you.
Ian
Yes, somehow or other we seem to remember her every day. Thanks for your comment, dear Ian.

I published this post six years ago and wrote in a comment: ‘I thank all the carers for the outstanding care they’ve been giving Gaby over many years. I love you all!’ Looking at the photos again, I am reminded again of the excellent care Gaby has been given and how this enrich the last years of her life! Tomorrow is going to be the 8th anniversary of her dying. Gaby, you are not forgotten!
Here is something else I wrote in the comment section six years ago:
