Until we meet in heaven, Sweet Angel Gabriele Sheridan Acker




With a very heavy heart we say goodbye to a dear adorable little girl who was part of our T21 family. Angelic Gabriele Sheridan Acker passed away today. This came as a blessing to a small little girl who had endured so much in her little life. We prayed earnestly that if she was to not turn the corner and start to get better that at least the Lord call her home without suffering and surrounded by those who love her. That prayer was answered.

'til we meet again sweet princess Gabi


What a beautiful little sweetheart:




Enduring 'til the end:





Here is her blog:
