Last week we said goodbye to Gabriel.

 
I first met Gabriel when my husband was in serious condition in the hospital.
Gabriel
walked in and set to work. His calmness comforted me. I think Gabriel
would have sat there all day, letting my husband and I pat him, if
that’s what we needed.

Gabriel was born to be a therapy dog. He
worked in nursing homes, hospitals, schools, libraries, and
universities. He helped everyone feel better.

 Gabriel ministered to us many times over the years.

He and his mom Sally became close friends.

Sadly, cancer took Gabriel.
RIP Gabriel. We love you. You will be terribly missed.
