Hear Gabrielle's poem and everyone's messages to her

I don't know Mongo, but I thank him for putting this together. thank you Cristin for posting it. It's so wonderful to listen to and celebrate. Here's his message to us:



Gabrielle, now fully angel...

Family...

I didn't find out until this morning that Gabrielle passed away, yesterday afternoon.

For those of you who left messages for her, know that even though she didn't get a chance to hear them, she passed on knowing how much we all loved her.

Healing and mourning are jobs for the living. So maybe, in that way, these messages were for us all along. And being able to share this great flash of hope after she is gone makes the timing quite perfect.

The show was recorded on Thursday, and releases on Monday. But it's available now, if you'd like to hear it:

Feel free to share this link widely, forward to mailing lists, e-mail to friends, and repost to your journals.

With a heavy heart, but one buoyed by the love of this family...
